Twenty-six years gone like a flash Chasing dreams that always dash Time's a thief I cannot catch Hearts break easy like thin glass Broken mirrors show my past Whispers from a love that's last Lost my way but found it fast Stitching wounds to make 'em last At twenty-six I'm finding me No more shadows only free Heartbeats loud reality Living life as melody Wishing wells and cheap champagne Late-night talks in pouring rain Lessons learned through joy and pain Footprints in the shifting lane Stars above don't seem that far Guiding me where wild things are Dreams like fireflies in a jar Every scar my favorite scar Turning tides and battles fought Every tear a lesson taught Lost the battles I had sought Found my worth in what I've got At twenty-six I'm finding me No more shadows only free Heartbeats loud reality Living life as melody Living life as melody Wishing wells and cheap champagne Late-night talks in pouring rain Lessons learned through joy and pain Footprints in the shifting lane
