This article is about old AJR content that is considered lost. Recordings of it may still exist on the internet, but adding them to this wiki is strongly discouraged as the band no longer wishes for the content to be publicly available and it will likely be taken down.
"Nothing in My Way" was the second track on one of AJR's old albums, Born and Bred, as well as the seventh track on another old album, Venture. It was deleted after the release of the I'm Ready EP, and most recordings of the song have been taken down.
Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I admit I've been running from the problems day to day
Yesterday never seemed to pass
When we look to the promise to find that we have lost
Tomorrow never seems to last
[Pre-Chorus]
If only I could be a richer man
My problems and my worries would fall away
But even then I'll find a plan
I'm not afraid
[Chorus]
I don't regret the things I did here
Only the things I didn't say
When the time comes to begin here, I'll be there
I'm not afraid
Nothing in my way
[Verse 2]
I admit I've been trying to find a better home
I've wasted all this precious time
I can see you're denying with every chance you've got
You know this victory is mine, oh
[Pre-Chorus]
If only I could be a better man
My problems and my worries would fall away
But even then I'll take your hand
I'm not afraid
[Chorus]
I don't regret the things I did here
Only the things I didn't say
And when the time comes to begin here, I'll be there
I'm not afraid
Nothing in my way
[Bridge]
I found a light through the shady hole (shady hole)
Where nothing lives and nothing grows (nothing grows)
I found a light that saved my soul
(Hey, yeah)
I don't regret the things I did here
Only the things I didn't say
When the time comes to begin here, I'll be there
[Chorus]
I don't regret the things I did here (Oh, yeah, yeah)
Only the things I didn't say
And when the time comes to begin here, I'll be there
I'm not afraid
Nothing in my way
Oh yeah,
Oh, oh
Nothing's in my way, oh, oh
I'm not afraid
Nothing in my way
