Move First

[Verse 1]
I woke up with the weight
Of a name I had to wear
One hand on the wheel
One foot out of the air
I kept the receipt
From every close call burn
Learned the hard way fast
You pay before you learn

[Pre-Chorus]
I still hear the door
When I almost walked through
I still taste the salt
From the nights I outgrew
If I’m gonna fall
I’m falling on my terms

[Chorus]
I make my choices
For better or for worst
For better or for worst
That’s the way I move first
Call it a gamble
Call it what you want
I make my choices
For better or for worst

[Verse 2]
I kept my old jeans
With the tear at the knee
Like a map of the road
That got the best of me
Some people pray for luck
Some people wait to be saved
I built mine from the ash
And the mess that I made

[Pre-Chorus]
I still hear the door
When I almost walked through
I still taste the salt
From the nights I outgrew
If I’m gonna break
I’m breaking on my terms

[Chorus]
I make my choices
For better or for worst
For better or for worst
That’s the way I move first
Call it a gamble
Call it what you want
I make my choices
For better or for worst

[Bridge]
If I lose it all tonight
I’ll still say I was mine
Not every scar is shame
Not every bruise means blind
I’ve got fire in my hands
And dust on my shirt
I may bend, I may bend
But I don’t learn by fear

[Final Chorus]
I make my choices
For better or for worst
For better or for worst
That’s the way I move first
Call it a gamble
Call it what you want
I make my choices
For better or for worst

(For better or for worst)
(For better or for worst)
