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.
