Nothing Ever Happens - Rachel Platten

She dreams of where she’s never been

Her story starts where it should end

And she keeps a Bible close

And folds the pages down she needs the most

The faded walls are closing in

So in her head she leaves again

And they’ve painted ceilings blue and green

And brilliant colors she’s never seen

And nothing ever happens if you stay in your room

Nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon

You’ll never be a winner if you’re not in the game

Nothing ever happens if you always play it safe

Make a little space and get out of your own way

A ticket out sits on her shelf

But gathers dust upon itself

Cause chasing chance is for the brave

Maybe soon she’ll feel that way

But nothing ever happens if you stay in your room

Nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon

Nothing ever happens if you don’t get hurt

Nothing ever happens if you never get dirty

Make a little space and go on, get out, go on, get out

Leave what you don’t need

You’re free and the pieces will fall into place

You and you only

Who can make a little space and

And get out of your own way

She sees the sunlight through the cracks

It’s only her who holds her back and

And so she takes her deepest breath

Shuts the door and walks down the steps

And nothing ever happens if you stay in your room

Nothing ever happens if you leave the party too soon

Nothing ever happens if you’re not in the game

And nothing ever happens if you always play it safe

Make a little space and get out of your own

Oh, get out of your own way

Get out of your own

Oh, get out of your own way

Get out of your own way

Oh oh oh oh
