Staring out the window as the world goes by
The hours pass too slow
Thinking back to the time before when this dream
was just a vision in my mind
I hate the fact that I have to leave
But I know if I don’t I never will
It’s time to move on, I have to move on
Chorus:
I know I’m not prepared
for a life that keeps me far from home
But I know if I just sit there, I’ll never find out who I am
Staring out the window, a whole new world’s outside
I’m waiting by the phone
I need to hear a familiar voice,
encouragement to get me through this ride
I hate the fact that I had to leave
But I know if I don’t I never will
It’s time to move on, I have to move on
Repeat Chorus
Everything is different
I’m seeing things that I’ve never seen before
So different
I know I’m not prepared
for a life that keeps me far from home
I know if I just sit there, I’ll never find me
I know I'm not prepared
for a life that keeps me far from home
I know I'm happy here
I finally found out who I am
The hours pass too slow
Thinking back to the time before when this dream
was just a vision in my mind
I hate the fact that I have to leave
But I know if I don’t I never will
It’s time to move on, I have to move on
I know I’m not prepared
for a life that keeps me far from home
But I know if I just sit there, I’ll never find out who I am
I’m waiting by the phone
I need to hear a familiar voice,
encouragement to get me through this ride
I hate the fact that I had to leave
But I know if I don’t I never will
It’s time to move on, I have to move on
I’m seeing things that I’ve never seen before
So different
for a life that keeps me far from home
I know if I just sit there, I’ll never find me
I know I'm not prepared
for a life that keeps me far from home
I know I'm happy here

I think this song is about having a dream and being afraid to go and reach for it when the time comes.
To me this song hits pretty close, because in about a year I'll most likely have to move to the other side of my country to study, and even though I've wanted to live on my own for a long time it still scares me.
