Lyrics
[VERSE 1]
I’m standing on a road I’ve never walked before
Sky so wide it almost knocks me to my knees
Silence feels like something I’ve been waiting for
A quiet kind of freedom humming low beneath the breeze
I’m scared of how it feels to finally be untethered
But fear and wonder sometimes sound the same to me
[PRE‑CHORUS]
There’s a pull inside my chest I can’t ignore
A whisper saying go, you’re not who you were before
[CHORUS]
Now I’m chasing stars across an open sky
Running toward a future I was never meant to find
Every mile I move, another piece of me aligns
And I’m learning that alone can be a place where I can shine
Yeah, I’m chasing stars tonight
[VERSE 2]
I used to think that leaving meant I’d lose myself
Like the world outside my hometown would swallow me whole
But every step I take, I feel the weight I held
Falling off like pieces of a story I outgrew long ago
I’m not the girl they tried to keep inside their borders
I’m someone braver than the life they tried to mold
[PRE‑CHORUS]
There’s a fire in my ribs that wasn’t there before
A voice that finally sounds like mine, saying go explore
[CHORUS]
Now I’m chasing stars across an open sky
Running toward a future I was never meant to find
Every mile I move, another piece of me aligns
And I’m learning that alone can be a place where I can shine
Yeah, I’m chasing stars tonight
[VERSE 3]
Now I’m learning how the quiet can feel like a beginning
How the night can hold a promise instead of holding me in place
Every dream I used to shrink is finally taking shape
And the road ahead feels open like an unfamiliar grace
I’m not running from the past, I’m just running toward my name
And every mile I move, I feel the world give me its space
[BRIDGE]
I thought I needed someone else to show me who I am
But all I needed was the space to breathe again
Now every shadow feels a little less like fear
And every heartbeat sounds like you belong out here
[FINAL CHORUS]
Now I’m chasing stars across an open sky
Running toward a future I can finally call mine
Every mile I move, another piece of me aligns
And I’m done with shrinking just to make my old world satisfied
Yeah, I’m chasing stars tonight
