I swear this time is real I swear this time is real
Stood back and took some copious notes
observation lent some truth
evaluated where I stand
Dove into the midst of what I would never want to be
I'd rather drown than breathe
in what the world expects from me

And I swear this time is real I know this time is real
Look over the other side of the fence
of this thing called life
Let me show you how it's done
All resistance Hesitance checked at the door

No "just one more time"
Leave all that behind
Full steam ahead

No hesitance All resistance, dedicated life

Steamroll this life

Pave the way through your
old ways, force the mind
into another path

Just once this time
Just once this life
With nothing in vain

I took the road less traveled upon
Sorted out what didn't belong
Running through this life

Sorted out what didn't belong
No party line to string me along
Running through this life

Stretched this life apart
Running through this life

I took the road less traveled upon
30 years and going strong
With nothing in vain
