Box (american Idol Performance) Lyrics - Jessica Whitely

I was living in a small mind 

With no lifeline 

And no messages can reach me from the outside 

When I looked out over the horizon 

Didn't notice the sun was setting or just rising 

Then it hit me, maybe bit me 

Then I knew, quite a few would not go with me 

I didn't know exactly where I would be going 

But I had to let this river in me flowing 

What a ride 

When you open your eyes 

For the very first time 

A real surprise

I started living outside of the box 

Crossing over lines where I always used to stop 

Living outside of the box 

'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not 

I always knew this day would come 

When I got off my back, found some motivation 

I've been living on the other side 

Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive 

I was living on a fault line, the fault was all mine 

And this unstable ground found me down half the time 

But I had enough, I had to get up 

I had to shrug it all off 'cause it's the same old stuff 

Then it hit me, you won't permit me 

To be an individual just doesn't fit me 

But I decided that it's going to be living 

Yeah, I decided I'm escaping from your prison

When you open your mind 

For the very first time 

A real surprise 

I started living outside of the box 

Crossing over lines where I always used to stop 

Living outside of the box 

'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not 

I always knew this day would come 

When I got off my back, found some motivation 

I've been living on the other side 

Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive 

So long conformity 

And ambiguality is a new priority 

All it takes, for heaven sakes 

Is to figure out the face and learn to separate 

I started living outside for the box 

Taking my time when I always used to rush 

Living outside of the box 

'Cause I'm not gonna be anybody that I'm not 

I always knew this day would come 

When I broke down the walls for my liberation 

I've been living on the other side 

Come hell or high water every moment I'm alive 

Oh, living outside of the box 

Oh, living outside of the box 

Oh, living outside 

Ha ha ha 

I always knew this day would come 

When I got off my back, found some motivation 

Oh, living outside of the box, of the box, of your life 

Of everything that seems that nice
