"I Get It" lyrics

If there's a way to live fast, untamed, carefree
I don't know it, and I never have
I've kept it pretty buttoned up for most my life
I wish I didn't
I wonder what it looks like
Those wild drives, straight lines into the never, man
I'm not good at giving up control
Like some of you I know
My thrills come other ways

I get lost in dreams of roads unseen
Not traveled
Tall pines and sentimental waves
I let my heart run stray

You can see it high
You can see it shine
This little light of mine

Half mile to midnight, down a back road
There's a path that no one knows but me
And it leads me to a place, unfamiliar and unsafe
After sundown, that's where I'll be

With my shadow at my side
Hell yeah, we're headed for the crossroads
Where I live in competition with the choices I make
I don't get it

If I left all cares behind
No boundaries dared defined
Full speed and don't look back
Would it really be so bad?

The shadow hides
Reaches down from high
Light around it bends
I'm on the road again

In days I'm hard to find
At night we ride
Roads without an end
Passing in the wind

You can see it high
You can see it shine
This little light of mine
You can see it high
You can see it shine
This little light of mine
