Next steps and ultimatums
Why don't you think I'll leave?
You know I'm independent, oh, mother, please
Gas stops in Arizona, this desert is not for me
But this life could take me somewhere I've never been

So I'll call you on Monday, tell you that I'm safe
Show you this new life, I'll give you someday
'Cause I'll, I'll do right
By the sacrifice you made, there on my birthday
No, don't apologize, oh, no, not to me
'Cause I, I'll be fine
When I see clear blue skies

Be brave for me (be brave)
And pray for me (won't you pray?)
That the grass stays green, and I don't fall to the light
'Cause 3000 miles is far away
From everything that I hold sacred
I wonder what my dad would say
Would he have done the same?

So I'll call him on Tuesday, tell him that I'm safe
Show him this new life I'll give him one day
'Cause I'll, I'll do right
By the words that you told me when you thought that I wasn't
Listening like always
No, don't apologize, I'll be fine
When I see clear blue skies
When I see clear blue skies, ooh-ooh

(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)

Somewhere, maybe someday, I'll repay what you gave (I'll repay what you gave)
Somewhere, maybe someday (I'll repay what you gave to me), I'll repay what you gave
Somewhere, someday, I'll repay what you gave
Somewhere, someday, I'll repay what you gave
Somewhere, someday, I'll repay what you gave to me
Somewhere, someday, I'll repay what you gave
Somewhere, someday, I'll repay what you gave
Somewhere, someday, I'll repay what you gave to me
