lyrics

Born and raised in a small town
I left way before it could drag me down
Following my dream to the capital
My teachers told me I was delusional

Maybe you should settle down
People talking in the town
Maybe you’re just falling in style
Maybe you’re delusional
Chasing every curtain call
Never underestimate the power of denial

Took every turn on the road map
Went every way and then doubled back
Following my tail down a dead end
I busted it all and then started again

It’s never what you think it’ll be
When you get there you will surely see
Everyone’s just falling with style
Dancing to a different tune
Chasing after their fortune
Never underestimate the power of denial

The power of denial
Bedmates with error and trial
Power of denial
A bed made with error and trial

Born and raised in a small town
I left way before it could drag me down
I became neighbors with Big Ben
I turned right around and then started again

Maybe I should settle down
People talking in this town
Maybe I’m just falling with style
Tell me I’m delusional
Chasing every curtain call
Never underestimate the power of denial
