Lyrics

When you dodge a bullet but you still feel shot.
And escaped the fire but it still feels hot.

When you believed the lies, and didn’t trust your eyes,
And the hope you had is gone,
Put the hammer down, it’s time for movin’ on.

When you’re with somebody, yet you’re all alone.
And you’re less important than what’s on their phone.
When you’re down on your luck, pack your moving truck,
Just before the crack of dawn.
Because when the sun comes up it’s time for movin’ on.

There’s no point in blame, there’s no time for doubt.
If it’s not going to change, then you’ve got to get out.
To hell with the shame
Figure it out.
Move it on, rearrange, start planning your route.

When the frozen shoulder is the warmth you know.
When you take a backseat to a TV show.
No need to bleed, you got a life to lead, so get up before the dawn.
Cause when the sun comes up it’s time for movin’ on.

Get on the train, or take an airplane,
And like Houdini you are gone.
With the lock you finally cracked.
On the cuffs behind your back.
To all The dignity you’ve lacked
(With the wind behind your back, optional)
You’re movin’ on.

When you sleep alone, and you haven’t grown,
And you’re jealous of the dog.
It’s no crime to drop the dime,
Trust me, you’ll be fine.
Put the hammer down, it’s time.
for movin’ on.
