Not my call

Verse 1

Somebody has to decide and I have never once wanted to be that somebody Give me a line and I'll stand in it Give me a voice and I'll wait for it to tell me which way Freedom sounds exhausting if I'm being honest All that deciding All that being the one who's wrong if it's wrong

Pre-Chorus

Point me somewhere Anywhere Just don't make me be the one who points

Chorus

Not my call Never was, never wanted it to be Not my call I just do what everybody else agreed to first Not my call Somebody up there's already decided so whatever happens it was never, ever my call

Verse 2

I've watched a whole room go quiet and follow the first voice brave enough to answer Not because it was right Just because somebody finally said something I was in that room I was one of the quiet ones I told myself I was being careful I was just relieved

Pre-Chorus

Point me somewhere Anywhere Just don't make me be the one who points

Chorus (repeat)

Bridge

I know what this looks like from the outside Sheep, somebody following, no spine of my own But you've never felt it how good it feels to not be the one who has to be right I chose this That's the part nobody wants to hear I didn't get swept up I walked into the current on purpose

Final Chorus

Not my call Never was, never wanted it to be Not my call I just do what everybody else agreed to first Not my call Somebody up there's already decided and I built my whole life around never having to be the one who does
