This is a revisitation of the first and last songs off of our first record, Hold Nothing Dear. The two songs tie together musically and thematically as the bookends of the record, and so we decided to tie them together in one track.

lyrics

I am stuck here in between what I want and what I need
I want to stay here by your side, but get away and make my life

Oh, I'm so afraid

I guess what I'm trying to say
I'll be keeping you close, just to push you away
How do I find a way when there is nothing left to say?
There's nothing left to say

I want to grow, but never be old
I want to stay here with my friends, but change and grow
I guess I can't have them both

There's nothing wrong with loving what you have
Just understand in a second, it becomes "what you had"
So live wherever you land
And never be afraid to change the faces, places and hands

This town may not be a university, bright lights or the city
But this town is mine, and it's brought out the best in me
Though I hold nothing dear to me
You have brought out the best in me

I'm not afraid

I've grown up so slow, but gotten old so fast
Me and my friends said forever, I hope it can last

(I'm not afraid anymore)

Now I don't know what I want anymore, but of one thing I'm sure
The day you stop holding on is the day you don't have to anymore

It's time to move along
