Straight Line

Original Song written by Dan Smith. Dan is an unsigned singer-songwriter in New York City.
You always know which way to go
Cause you’re always going where you’re told
You always know what to do
But you never think of anything new
You’re always trying to get it right
But you forgot how to live your life
Pre-Chorus:
You feel nice and safe in your routine
But not everything fits in so neat and clean
You think your life is tied up in a bow
But the truth is that you never really know
Because…
Chorus:
Life doesn’t go in a straight line
You think you got it figured out
But it can turn on dime
Everybody makes mistakes
But if you don’t get lost sometimes,
You never learn to find your way
It might not work out the way you planned
And sometimes you have to start again
Verse 2:
Forget everything you thought you knew
It’s time to make yourself brand new
Forget those games you used to play
Cause they don't anyway
Forget all the lies that you’ve been told
It’s time to listen to your soul
Pre-Chorus:
Cause not everything fits inside a box
Not every door will always be locked
So don’t keep your dreams shut down inside
Cause if you give yourself a chance you just might enjoy the ride
Because…
Chorus:
Life doesn’t go in a straight line
You think you got it figured out
But it can turn on dime
Everybody makes mistakes
But if you don’t get lost sometimes,
You never learn to find your way
It might not work out the way you planned
And sometimes you have to start again
Because…
Life doesn’t go in a straight line
You think you got it figured out
But it can turn on a dime
And everybody makes mistakes
But if you don’t get lost sometimes
You never learn to find your way
It doesn’t all work out the way you planned
But there might be something better just around the bend
Just around the bend
Just around the bend
