Made to Move

Lyrics

[Verse 1] She keeps a blue notebook folded in her coat Maps of little places only she would know A ticket from the ferry, pressed beneath the page She says the world is wider than the rooms that make her stay [Pre-Chorus] She doesn’t need permission She doesn’t wait in line With a pocket full of questions And a restless kind of mind [Chorus] Girl, you were made to move Past every locked-up door Take what they said you couldn’t do And make it something more Girl, when the whole room turns You never lose your nerve You leave a mark, you change the terms You get what you deserve [Verse 2] She knows the baker’s name on the corner by the park Laughs so hard at bad news that it loses all its bite Her old red sneakers carry dust from county roads She keeps a spare key for a friend who needs a place to go [Pre-Chorus] She doesn’t need a spotlight She doesn’t need a sign She can find the hidden passage Every single time [Chorus] Girl, you were made to move Past every locked-up door Take what they said you couldn’t do And make it something more Girl, when the whole room turns You never lose your nerve You leave a mark, you change the terms You get what you deserve [Bridge] If they call you difficult Let them learn your name If they try to make you small Outgrow the frame Keep the ticket, keep the map Keep the brave mistake There is no road behind you That you have to take [Final Chorus] Girl, you were made to move Past every locked-up door Take what they said you couldn’t do And make it something more Girl, when the whole room turns You never lose your nerve You leave a mark, you change the terms You get what you deserve [Outro] She folds the blue notebook And steps into the morning No one has to tell her Where she’s going
