Jump the Gun

Close your eyes and take the wheel
Give in to everything you feel and crash this plane into the sky
Hold your breath and take the deal
Try dessert before the meal and take a hit from your supply
So sublime to feel that calling
From deep inside of your soul
Let it take control
And pick yourself up when you fall

Cuz that's how you learn
Time passes and bridges burn
Build your dreams from the piles of ashes
Ride the lightning as thunder crashes

Take a hint from baby bird
Jumping out the nest and flying all around before he's had the chance to learn
No sense asking for permission
Pretty soon you know this planet will be swallowed by the sun
Jump the gun
The race is calling
Perfects not as good as done
So go ahead and just run

Then look back at how far you've come
Cuz that's how you'll know
Time passes and rivers flow
Build your strength from the raging fountains
Ditch the valley to scale the mountains

Try don't think
Fly don't sink
Don't give up you're on the brink
Of all out peace
Peace
And then one day you'll look inside and see
You have become so much more than you thought you'd ever be
So here's to your first steps
You'll be so glad you left
Take it from a man who's seen
Himself as a distant memory
And that's why life is easy
Cuz these days
I can hardly remember me
