Song URL see link below:) TIME - the time we have right now is flying too fast that I want to have more of it and enjoy the present. But I am forced to-“drive in the fast lane”-grow up.
MAINSTREAM - all the events and situations (stress in life & school) thrown at me at the same time.
TAKE WHAT YOU'RE GIVEN - roll with life and let it happen/unfold because when the moment comes, you'll know what to do; trust it, trust yourself.
PAINT IT WITH A CRAYON - reference to childhood when everything was simple. We take what we’re given and make something out of it – something of our own
LAUGH AT ITS FACE - we didn’t believe our demons and claim them wrong about us.
WON'T LET IT CHASE ME AWAY, I'D FIGHT - I won't let my fears and life swallow me up. I'll face my problems instead of running away from it.
WON'T LET IT STAY, I'D DIE - I won’t dwell on it or else I’d be in ruins
DEAR ME COME HOME - come back to when I felt like myself and we’d "laugh it off" because we made it and looking back to it you realize how everything worked out the way it did.
“No matter what you’re going through I'd always be right here for you dreaming and thinking of what you will do... but let's come back home”
meaning: the voice in me in every step of life talking. But later says, before I get into thinking about life or when it comes to decisions, to make sure I'm back to feeling like myself again (my actions not based on current emotion – doing something out of pain, anger... etc.)
