[Verse 1]
From the morning
To the night
Like the birds, I've been trying to live a simple life
It's not as easy
As it looks
But I'm still young with a lot of life left in my books
Driving solo
Always seemed
The only way that I could go as fast as I can breathe

[Pre-Chorus 1]
But hey, relay this message to the many I proceed
If you go alone and break your bones
On who you gonna lean?

[Chorus]
Turn the light on
And leave the door open wide
I need to be as close as I can get to your side
Dark shadows
Been playing dirty tricks on my mind
And I resign, I'm not designed for being the pilot of my own life
Pilot of my own life
Pilot of my own life
Pilot of my own life

[Verse 2]
Body's shaken
To the core
As if I all consisted of was violently at war
And wide eyes
Wish they'd sleep
I need an intervention, somebody to comfort me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
'Cause I ain't playing make-believe, I cope with everything in reach
'Cause it's the best that I can do
On my own, but it's killing me
[Chorus]
So turn the light on
And leave the door open wide
I need to be as close as I can get to your side
Dark shadows
Been playing dirty tricks on my mind
And I resign, I'm not designed for being the pilot of my own life
Pilot of my own life
Pilot of my own life
Pilot of my own life

[Bridge]
Great One of divinity
I'm ready, come and lead me

[Chorus]
Turn the light on
And leave the door open wide
I need to be as close as I can get to your side
Dark shadows
Been playing dirty tricks on my mind
And I resign, I'm not designed for being the pilot of my own life
Pilot of my own life
Pilot of my own life
Pilot of my own life
