[Verse 1: Solo]
Standing at the gate wishing you goodbye
'You better go, you got a plane to catch'
You said you don't know when you'll make it back

I used to feel like anything was possible
Like I could head in any direction I wanted to
Overcome any obstacle, but I learned that
Thinking that way isn't logical, it's not optional
You gotta pick a path
And stay true to whatever's in your heart
And if that means that we gotta be apart
Well there'll be days when that's gonna be hard
But we gotta try and
