about

Story-driven track revolving around anxiety.

lyrics

VERSE 1
I feel like I’ve been ready since the age of 18
Ain't nobody gonna stop me cause' it's always been my dream
To wake up in the morning and see how many people called
To say how great my concert was the night before

But before anything can happen let's prepare for what I need
Been goin' for a while gotta stop and just breathe
Everything's the same, but everything's changed
In my mind I'm freakin' out and it's the people that I blame

SETUP
I just feel so…. ready
Like I'm being held back. I'm unsteady
But, thinkin' to myself
HEY LET'S JUST DO THIS

CHORUS
I can't take control…. Of my life
If I'm too busy looking at the stars and
thinking about all the time that's gone by

Well, it's time for a change in my day to day scene
Time to turn around from that clock
Face a mirror and change me

VERSE 2
"So take some medication, let it do its job
You'll feel less and less like you're being chased by a mob"
If there's one thing that I want it's not to be a sob
Story looking like my whole life’s been robbed

SETUP
I just feel so…. ready
Like I'm being held back. I'm unsteady
But, thinkin' to myself
HEY LET'S JUST DO THIS

CHORUS
I can't take control…. Of my life
If I'm too busy looking at the stars and
thinking about all the time that's gone by

Well, it's time for a change in my day to day scene
Time to turn around from that clock
Face a mirror and change me

BRIDGE
I thought my whole life I've been pretending
But really all I was doing was bending
The idea that all I was good for spending
My time away from everybody's views
Just writin’ tunes and
Thinking I can't lose
It's my life to abuse

CHORUS/OUT
I can't take control…. Of my life
If I'm too busy looking at the stars and
thinking about all the time that's gone by

Well, it's time for a change in my day to day scene
Time to turn around from that clock
Face a mirror and change me

about

Charlie Millikin image

Charlie Millikin Cincinnati, Ohio

Born into a family of musicians, singers and songwriters, Charlie's unquenchable passion for great music and melodies seemed only natural. At the age of 6 he was singing and performing with his siblings for family and friends. It wasn't until high school though that he really got the bug, and flourished. At 18 he picked up the guitar and hasn't looked back. ... more
