Pioneer Drive

I said the prayer as a kid on Pioneer Drive
Back when time moved slowly, but now I'm only wasting all mine
And I hate to say it, but the more I reflect on my youth
Was it child-like faith or a child-like phase I was going through
Cause' as I've grown, I'll confess I was a mess on my own
And I wish I'd known how to manage the damage I'd sow
And I wish that I'd known of all the heartbreak and heartache to come
To this young heart of stone, bound to wallow in sorrow so long

And I remember back when I would sing out with all of my might
To those burned CDs down tree-lined streets ingrained in my mind
So when did I change from the boy on the stage to my room
Cause' now in each stage of my life
I've got some stage fright I'm going through
Oh but now I'm grown, and I confess I'm a mess on my own
But I wish I'd known how to manage the damage I've sown
And I wish that I'd known of all the heartbreak and heartache to come
Til' this young heart of stone heard a call to me, "Follow Me home"

(How I've waited)
(After so long feeling low)
(Whoa oh oh)
(How I've waited)
(After all these years I know)
(I'm seeing)
Woah oh oh (how I've waited)
It's been a while since we've had hope
Whoa oh oh (how I've waited)
And it's been a while since we've been home (I'm seeing)
Woah oh oh (how I've waited)
It's been a while since we've had hope (it's changing)
Whoa oh oh (how I've waited)
And it's been a while since we've been home
(I'm seeing how this stone heart's breaking)
Woah oh oh
Oh oh oh

Oh how I've grown, I still confess I'm a mess all the time
But I wish I'd known someone would manage this damage of mine
And I wish that I'd known of all the healing and feeling alive
For this young heart of stone bound to wind up here from Pioneer Drive
