Ive given up on giving up slowly
Im blending in so you wont even know me
Apart from this whole world that shares my fate

And this one last bullet you mention
Is my one last shot at redemption
Cause I know to live you must give your life away

And Ive been housing all this doubt
And insecurity
And Ive been locked inside that house
All the while you hold the key
And Ive been dying to get out
And that might be the death of me
And even though theres no way of knowing where to go
I promise Im going

Because I got to get out of here
Im stuck inside this rut that I fell into by mistake
I got to get out of here
And Im begging you
Im begging you
Im begging you to be my escape

Ive given up on doing this alone now
Cause Ive failed and Im ready to be shown how
Youve told me the way, and now Im trying to get there

And this life sentence that Im serving
I admit, that Im every bit deserving
But the beauty of grace is that it makes life not fair

Because I got to get out of here
Cause Im afraid that this complacency is something I cant shake
I got to get out of here
And Im begging you
Im begging you
Im begging you to be my escape

And I am a hostage to my own humanity
Self detained and forced to live in this mess Ive made
And all Im asking is for you to do what you can with me
But I cant ask you to give what you already gave

I fought you for so long
I should have let you win
Oh, how we regret those things we do

And all I was trying to do
was save my own skin
Oh, but so were you

New boy in the neighborhood
Lives down stairs and it's understood.
He's there just to take good care of me.
Like he's one of the family.

Charles in charge of
Our days and our nights.
Charles in charge of
Our wrongs and our rights.
So I say
I want Charles in charge of me.

Charles, I love you,
Love you till the end.
And I love Buddy,
Cause he's your best friend.
Let's go hang out,
You me and Jesus at your mom's pizza parlor.
And maybe you can hook me up
With the girl that's from Baywatch
And on your show.

I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
There's only one thing left to do.
Drop all I have and go with you.

[Chorus:]
Somewhere back there I left my worries all behind.
My problems fell out of the back of my mind.
We're going and I'm never knowing (never knowing) where we're going.
To go back to where I was would just be wrong.
I'm pressing on.
Pressing on, all my distress is going, going, gone. (pressing on, pressing on)
And I won't sit back, and take this anymore.
'Cause I'm done with that, I've got one foot out the door.
And to go back where I was would just be wrong
I'm pressing on.

I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Out of mind, out of state.
Trying to keep my head on straight.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here.
Adversity, we get around it.
Searched for joy, in you I found it.

You look down on me, but you don't look down on me at all.
You smile and laugh, and I feel the love you have for me.
I think we're going somewhere.
We're on to something good here, and we're gonna make it after all.
