Never Gonna Die

[Chorus: Aspen Dawn]
I never once looked before I jumped
They say that's just because I'm young
And when I fall down and skin my knees
I never believe that I will bleed, running wild, living free, The freest we will ever be
You and I will live our lives like we're never gonna die.

[Verse 1: Abstract]
You ask what I would change
If I could go back to the days when I was tired of my ways
Would I set fire to the pain when life refused to stay the same?
I know I'm not the best with change
Never been the one to act my age
Never been too quick to turn the page
Lives younger than I am now
I swear 6 years feel like 95
Feel like through it I done lived a couple lives
There's a growing process to the other side
Happiness is never given, no, happiness is a decision, so
I been learning how to live it, slow, take it in with every minute, go
Nowadays everybody want it right now, that's a dream
That's money, that's our culture right now
That's a Netflix binge, that's a quick text back
Anxiety built when it ain't like that
That's a lot of life lost living life too fast
Lot of views unseen, lotta love gets lost
Skimming through our lives so we staying on the surface
Run on water cause we feel the depths uncertain
Swear life's better when you just dive in
Fakes don't float where the real ones swim
Depths get deep where the real take leaps
And the sharks gon' eat what the real deem weak
So much underneath if you just take time
To explore your world both in and outside
No one's life like yours, no one's life like mine
I just hope you see the beauty 'fore it pass you by.

[Chorus: Aspen Dawn]
I never once looked before I jumped
They say that's just because I'm young
And when I fall down and skin my knees
I never believe that I will bleed, running wild, living free
The freest we will ever be
You and I will live our lives like we're never gonna die.

[Verse 2: Abstract]
Needed me to hear it, I need you to see it
Everything you are, hope you get to be it
This right here the secret
While you're getting there, elevation changes—feel it in the air
Don't forget to breathe it, don't forget to stop
Look behind you at the miles that you walked
Beauty is the journey getting to the dream
Dreams are dreamt to teach us who we're meant to be
Bigger than revenge, bigger than an ends
I was young and stupid, I cannot pretend
But this journey taught me what I had to be
Wasn't always pretty but I had to see
Wasn't always me, sometimes it was greed
Sometimes it was hate, we all make mistakes
Life ain't always great, but we're 'sposed to learn
Play with fire, know that life will get you burned
So I been chasing lifelines for a lifetime
Now I have my heart in the right place at the right time
With the right girl in the right world
I learned about how love really feel
I taught myself how to really heal
Went from what's up to what's really real
'Cause the world got a plan way bigger than your dreams
It don't care what you want, it just care what you need
Gonna take you through a process, never make it obvious
Most times you ain't even gonna see the progress
Stop one day on your way on up
When the air gets thin and the road gets rough
See the beauty in the steps that you're yet to take
And find the steps you missed were never by mistake.

[Chorus: Aspen Dawn]
I never once looked before I jumped
They say that's just because I'm young
And when I fall down and skin my knees
I never believe that I will bleed, running wild, living free
The freest we will ever be
You and I will live our lives like we're never gonna die.
