Moving On
Truslow Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Intro]
I feel the morning
Laying undercover from the fight again
The birds are singing
Writing songs of freedom in the world
And I'm coming up for air
Looking out the window
As I'm caving in
Remembering the day
These memories couldn't keep me down

[Prechorus]
And so,
I'm tearing up
This home
I've grown to love
I'll bury it all
I'll carve it in stone
I'm leaving it all

[Chorus]
I'm moving on
Moving on
This house I built
Will soon be gone
Standing up
Breaking walls
I'm moving on
Moving on

[Verse 2]
I see the sunset
Resting on the edge
From all the chaos all around
I want to find it
Take place where freedom
Leaves the past behind
And I'm running in the dark
Chasing the horizon
With a hope to find
But I'm caught up in the yard
Feeling I may never see the light

[Prechorus]
And so,
I'm tearing up
This home
I've grown to love
I'll bury it all
I'll carve it in stone
I'm leaving it all

[Chorus]
I'm moving on
Moving on
This house I built
Will soon be gone
Standing up
Breaking walls
I'm moving on
Moving on

[Bridge]
Countless nights I lay alone
Locked inside this broken home
Forgetting how it really feels
To breathe again

[Prechorus]
And so,
I'm tearing up
This home
I've grown to love
I'll bury it all
I'll carve it in stone
I'm leaving it all

[Chorus]
I'm moving on
Moving on
This house I built
Will soon be gone
Standing up
Breaking walls




I'm moving on
Moving on
