Lyrics
I grew up poor but with a mother who was made of steel
So many battles that I've had now I'm still trying to heal
The food stamps as a kid you know that they were real
But I guess that I was lucky because I never missed a meal
From a tiny town of 1,800 living in Hippie Ville
I loved my childhood wild living in the hills
I tried my best to always pull my weight
With my Irish Catholic conscience it is always a heavy state of...
Mind it's open, I will try to be kind
Until you press my buttons, then you'll want to press rewind
I'm analyzing every time I have a state of mind
I'll try to keep it real down to earth everything is just fine
It's time to let it go and time to grow
and time to grow it up and realize that
Every breath I take and every day I wake to try to be
Alive in every way let go of the mistakes
like it's the best day of your life
I'll live like a girl on fire
My dreams are full of desire
I stay awake at night praying I can take flight
Yeah, Now I'm going to get higher
Make the angels conspire
I'll find the light of day to make the pain go away
The first time I got paid I realized I had found my way
That I would work as hard as my mind body and soul could take
When I'm singing up on stage it's my great escape
Bringing the lyrics to you with all and everything I can take
My days keep me up at night as I try to fight this fight
I hold faith in my scars I know I will take flight
Over the hills into the stars and make it to new heights
When all you see for days is nothing but a blue sky
I'm born again lost again only to be found again
At the end of the day I'm still counting all of my sins
They say it's about the journey, not about the big win
But let's not pretend it's over before you ever begin
It's time to let it go and time to grow and
time to grow it up and realize that
Every breath I take and every day I wake to try to be
Alive in every way let go of the mistakes like it's
the best day of your life
I'll live like a girl on fire
My dreams are full of desire
I stay awake at night praying I can take flight
Yeah, Now I'm going to get higher
Make the angels conspire
I'll find the light of day to make the pain go away
I tell myself that I won't let these days just slip away
Numb my mind and my body and I'll just ride that wave
I'm always fighting my demons they have so much to say
With all the lows that I've had, I won't let my heart break
I've got one lifetime but I wish that I could live for two
When I wake up there's so many things that I want to do
The first half of my life was just way too subdued
I swallowed my feelings and I locked up my truths
But then I came home to the West Coast of A
And Cali is for you if you want to create
And home is not home once you've gone away
I'm searching for the memories that have been lost in the fray
It's time to let it go and time to grow and
time to grow it up and realize that
Every breath I take and every day I wake to try to be
Alive in every way let go of the mistakes like it's
the best day of your life
I'll live like a girl on fire
My dreams are full of desire
I stay awake at night praying I can take flight
Yeah, Now I'm going to get higher
Make the angels conspire
I'll find the light of day to make the pain go away
