Rebels Lyrics by Matchbox Twenty

Where the Light Goes

2023

[Verse 1]
When you lose yourself
In a photograph
And the room gets heavy
'Cause you can't go back to sixteen
To rainbow hair and ripped jeans

[Pre-Chorus]
To keep your head above the water
Sometimes you had to hold your tongue

[Chorus]
We're all rebels when we're young
I think it's time you let it go now
When you get angry with yourself
And there ain't no other road out
You blame the rebel that you sold out

[Verse 2]
And it's all exciting
You were so alive
Like a wheel in motion
You were tеrrified you'll lose it
Hell, еverybody loses

[Pre-Chorus]
It was never how you wanted
And now it's never good enough

[Chorus]
We're all rebels when we're young
I think it's time you let it go now
When you get angry with yourself
You blame the rebel that you sold out
You blame the rebel that you sold out
That you sold out

[Bridge]
Let go and be yourself right now
Let go and be yourself right now
Let go and be yourself right now
Let go and be yourself right now

[Verse 3]
When you're all messed up
And you don't know why
You're rattling cages and the world just flies by
Like you're losing time
But you can't go back
You can't go back
No

[Chorus]
We're all rebels when we're young (When we're young)
I think it's time you let it go now (Let it go now)
When you get angry with yourself (With yourself)
You blame the rebel that you sold out (Ooh, that you sold out)
Yeah, you blame the rebel that you sold out (Sold out)

[Outro]
You blame the rebel that you, you blame the rebel that you
You blame the rebel that you sold out, sold out
You blame the rebel that you (Yeah), you blame the rebel that you (Sold)
You blame the rebel that you sold out, sold out
