Heading to Mars
South Jordan Lyrics

Take me back to Northbrook
I wish I could go back in time to a simpler place, where everything wasn't so complicated and confusing.

Untangle all of these threads
I need to sort out my life and make sense of all the different paths I could take.

I don't want to be nineteen
I feel like I'm too young to be dealing with all of these adult responsibilities and decisions.

I'm feeling 4 years ahead
I feel like I'm more mature and experienced than my actual age would suggest.

Why the hell can't it slow down
I feel like life is moving too fast and I can't keep up with all of the changes happening around me.

Before I blinked I was eight
Time has passed so quickly that I feel like it was only yesterday when I was a carefree child.

All my friends have it planned out
Everyone around me seems to know exactly what they want to do with their lives, while I feel lost and unsure.

Who's up there choosing my fate
I feel like my life is being predetermined by some higher power or external force, and I have no control over it.

I fear I left my heart on stage
I'm worried that I gave my all to something that wasn't worth it, and now I feel empty and lost.

This real world's set fire to my wings
The harsh realities of life are damaging my dreams and ambitions, and making it harder for me to fly and succeed.

I feel just like a shooting star
I feel like I'm burning out quickly and won't last long, despite the potential I have.

Whose had his act now I'm breaking apart
I used to have my life together and know what I wanted, but now I feel like I'm falling apart and losing my sense of self.

In time you'll find me far away from here
Eventually, I hope to leave this place and start anew somewhere else.

Looked at father he told me
My father advised me to follow my dreams and go after what I want, despite the challenges and risks involved.

Put your dreams in a whisper
Don't announce your dreams and goals to the world, but keep them close to your heart and work towards them quietly and diligently.

Soon they'll grow into screams
Your dreams may start small and quiet, but with enough effort and dedication, they will become louder and more powerful.

I'm getting tired of waiting
I'm tired of sitting around and waiting for things to happen to me, and I want to take charge of my own life.

As others pass me by
I feel like everyone else is moving ahead in their lives and achieving their goals, while I'm stuck in the same place.

This hopeless dreaming is testing
Dreaming and hoping for a better future is both rewarding and frustrating, as it constantly challenges my patience and perseverance.

The man I should become
I have a vision of the kind of person I want to be, and I'm struggling to become that person in the face of obstacles and setbacks.

As others say don't think of this
Other people may discourage me from pursuing my dreams, telling me it's unrealistic or impractical.

You've got long to live
People may tell me that I have my whole life ahead of me, so there's no need to rush or take risks.

Don't fall in line
I shouldn't conform to what other people expect of me, but should blaze my own trail and make my own choices.

You've got your time
I have the opportunity and ability to achieve my dreams, as long as I work hard and stay committed to my goals.

To make wrong to right
I have the power to fix what's broken in my life and turn my failures into successes, as long as I stay determined and resilient.

Now I'm heading for Mars
I'm leaving my old life behind and setting out on a new, exciting journey towards my dreams and ambitions.
