about

“Punchy, crunchy and affirmative,” says Dan Kimpel, “Jennifer Vazquez’s latest single, ‘Getting Out Of My Own Way,’ resonates with hard won truths and positive self-empowerment.”

“Getting Out Of My Own Way” is the final song featured at the end title crawl of award winning director Nicole Gomez Fisher’s hit HBO comedy “Sleeping With The Fishes” and stars Golden Globe Nominee, Gina Rodriguez, of The CW’s “Jane The Virgin”. The song is produced, mixed and mastered by Ron Zabrocki.

The music video for Jen’s single is directed by award winning directors Nicole Gomez Fisher and “Nimer” Neem Basha in collaboration with Montage Cinemas Production. (Check out the video on Jennifer's YouTube Channel @jennifervazquezmusic or go to: youtu.be/5TKvwXQS8IU

lyrics

Getting Out Of My Own Way
© Jennifer Vazquez/ Bronx Babe Publishing / ASCAP

Don’t want to go back to where I started.
Not when I’ve come this far.
Ya, I was warn down. I had it all wrong;
sinking deep into you to hide from me.

The struggle with what I see and what I chose to make of it
comes down to this one thing; my life can’t change
if I stay stuck in yesterday.

So I’m getting out of my own way.
I remind myself again and again.
I’m getting out of my own way.
I’m learning to trust these curvy roads more than the straight.

Don’t dare drink that bar dry and then lean there
all messed up like that
and say there’s nothing wrong.
I’m done with this game. Find someone else.
Don’t try to convince me with your warped reality.

Ya, I’ve had my reasons to believe I could love enough
for both you and me. Frozen in fantasy.
The lies keep taunting me and I can barely breathe.

So I’m getting out of my own way
I remind myself again and again.
I’m getting out of my own way.
I’m learning to trust these curvy roads more than the straight.

Oh… Oh…

And now I’m saying exactly what I mean.
I can’t let fear control me anymore.
Not anymore. Not anymore, Not anymore…

Cause I’m getting out of my own way.
Dumping all baggage down the drain.
Making room for a brand new day.
I’m learning to trust these curvy roads more than the straight.

So I’m getting out of my own way.
I remind myself again and again.
I’m getting out of my own way.
I’m learning to trust these curvy roads more than the straight.

Cause it’s too late to go back to where I started…
