Back to Square One


Everyone keeps passing by
I can’t even see their eyes
I’m floating, going nowhere
Wishing I was over there
I’m drowning in my routine
Cannot see what should be seen
It’s hard to break the tough shell
Of what I’m knowing so well

Chorus:
I’m stuck in a rut, you know that feeling?
It’s like being cut, but never healing
I need to climb out, I need to escape
Time to change my route, let the past be erased
Want to flee away, go back to square one
Goodbye yesterday, and away I run
And away I run, and away I run

My mind is drawing a blank
I’m staring off into space
I don’t know the day or week
Point of view is getting bleak
Why is time looking the same?
Time wants me to play its game
It’s the time to make a choice
To stand up and use my voice

CHORUS

Being trapped can hurt your soul
Makes you want to stay and go
Why do my feet feel so stuck?
How did I end in this rut?
I don’t know how I got here
None of the reasons are clear
Although it’s safe, it’s too much
This rut has become my crutch

CHORUS


I don’t know about you but sometimes I go throughout my days and weeks and it all just feels the same. It feels like I’m frozen in time. These lyrics are describing someone who wants to go back to a certain point in time or just go somewhere new. We occasionally need that shake-up in our lives.
