Out of the Old Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Feels like I'm not where I'm supposed to be
I don't fit in with these familiar faces
And the games they play don't mean a thing to me
I know there's so much more

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't stop dreamin', and thinkin'
Maybe I could be someone different
More than a yearbook memory
If I leave this, I'm riskin' almost everything
Am I on the right road?

[Chorus]
Out of the old, I've gotta find my way
Into the new, give anything it takes
I wanna know, if no one knew my name
Would my wildest dreams feel like home?
If I go out of the old (Eh-oh, eh-oh)
And into the new (Eh-oh, eh-oh)
Out of the old (Eh-oh, eh-oh)
And into the new (Eh-oh, eh-oh)
Yeah, I wanna know (Eh-oh, eh-oh)
If no one knew my name
Would my wildest dreams feel like home?
Out of the old
[Verse 2]
I wish these streets were still enough for me
I wish this town could give me everything
But I still feel stopped while every light turns green
Why can't I let it go?

[Pre-Chorus]
I can't stop dreamin', and thinkin'
Maybe I could be someone different
More than a yearbook memory
Leavin' all this, I'm riskin' almost everything
But there's only one road

[Chorus]
Out of the old, I've gotta find my way
Into the new, give anything it takes
I wanna know, if no one knew my name
Would my wildest dreams feel like home?
If I go out of the old (Eh-oh, eh-oh)
And into the new (Eh-oh, eh-oh)
Out of the old (Eh-oh, eh-oh)
And into the new (Eh-oh, eh-oh)
Yeah, I wanna know (Eh-oh, eh-oh)
If no one knew my name
Would my wildest dreams feel like home? (Eh-oh, eh-oh)
Out of the old (Eh-oh, eh-oh)
[Outro]
And into the new (Eh-oh, eh-oh)
Take me out of the old (Eh-oh, eh-oh)
And into the new (Eh-oh, eh-oh)
'Cause I wanna go, I wanna go
Mm, just take me
