Blank Page

I'm a stranger in my hometown In the neighborhood that made me what I am now Doesn't look like any place I know I keep wondering where did all the time go It's a wonder that I'm standing here With all the battle scars that I've won through the years It's a wonder that I still believe I still believe The highs, the lows The light that causes all my shadows The pain you feel because you loved so This life and all it's crescendos Standing in the memories Before I knew who I would be I remember life before I knew the pain When life was a blank page I was gunning for the open road Thought my future would be perfectly paved in gold Little did I know that I would be Begging to relive my history You never know it when you're in the frame Picture perfect doesn't feel like anything 'Til your memories taste so sweet Those memories The highs, the lows The light that causes all my shadows The pain you feel because you loved so This life and all it's crescendos Standing in the memories Before I knew who I would be I remember life before I knew the pain When life was a blank page Staring at a dirt road Wish I knew what I know That every dream was better Better unknown Standing in the memories Before I knew who I would be I remember life before I knew the pain When life was a blank page Life was a blank page It was never mine anyway Oh, I can't control a thing 'Cause it was never my blank page
