Lyrics:
Verse:
There was a time
When everyone said:
“you’re attempting the impossible.”
Was I out of line
To tell them that destiny is never stoppable?
I fell down
So many times, I got lost in the count.
Till I found out
I never get far with my feet on the ground.
Chorus:
I’m riding a riptide
Changing my whole life
I was an island adrift in the sea
I’m taking it solo
Calling it YOLO
There’s no denying the changes in me
It takes a fallen star
To finally see who you are
Now I’m a rising sun
I’m shining on everyone
Verse:
There was a time
You promised the world,
and I gave you nearly everything.
Were you out-of-line
When you said that I never would amount to anything?
Everyone lies,
It’s part of the human design.
It’s harder to find
The courage to leave them behind.
Chorus:
I’m riding a riptide
Changing my whole life
I was an island when I was with you
I’m taking it solo
Calling it YOLO
There’s no denying the things I could do
It takes a fallen star
To finally see who you are
Now I’m a rising sun
I’m shining on everyone
End:
I’m riding a riptide
Changing my whole life
I was an island adrift in the sea
I’m taking it solo
Calling it YOLO
There’s no denying the changes in me
I’m riding a riptide
Changing my whole life
Saying “good-bye” to the wannabes
I’m taking it solo
Calling it YOLO
There’s no denying what’s coming to me
