I stopped biding my sense of welfare
I sacrificed all these years to get here
Holding onto the hope that somewhere

My life would be clear

(pre-chorus)

Don't blame my lack of direction
I've found myself
I spent more time on reflection

Than I tell myself

Scootaloo, you say you've spread your wings

You're off to a brand new start
For you, it always seems that
Nothing falls apart


Sweetie Belle, you've got raw talent
We all know that you'll go far

But every year, it's getting harder
To tell where you even are


(chorus)
Where did time fly?
It will never be as simple as, simple as was before

I can't rely
On the shield that I call innocence, innocence anymore


I dropped by the apple harvest
I stuck out like a red-nosed reindeer
The only one with no sign of progress

I swear I'd have this year

(pre-chorus)


Applejack, you say you know what's best
Always looking out for the farm

Back then and still today, it's like
I initiate a call to arms


Big Mac, you're single-minded
Not everything is yes or no
You think that red is always green

And that when I say stop, you go

(chorus)


Don't let me down
I won't strike out again

Far from this town
Is where I will begin


To bring myself
To sacrifice each and every dream
I had


Of baking treats
Selling apples, ziplining over a stream


I'm tired of waiting for
A chance to shine

A chance to breathe again

Why can't I see?

Far from this town
Is where I will begin


(chorus)
