The World Won't Wait

Brought up to dream sky high, ahead of my age and my time
So I raised my expectations up
But they were right and every hobby that I dropped built a pile and now I
Look at all these things that I haven’t done
I’m losing track of everything that I was supposed to be by twenty-one
If I could just apply myself a little better so instead of doing everything once the deadline’s gone
I wouldn’t be an academic has been and do nothing all day then get angry
I guess I lost myself back up this one-way road and look how far we’ve come
The world won’t wait for things you swear you’ll make
So talk all night and dream those plans all day
Then one day wonder when the world walked away
But they told me it’s alright, to sit back and just try
Sometimes that’s all we were ever taught
Now I’m beginning to think something about me will always make me try to
Lose with whatever hand I’ve drawn
I’m getting tired of pretending that I don’t hit ignore when opportunity calls
It never leaves a message, if life treated me better then I’d probably just complain I wouldn’t need to work at all
I bet I’d be an academic has been and do nothing all day then get angry
The traffic’s picking up along this one-way road but we’ve slowed to a crawl
The world won’t wait for things you swear you’ll make
So talk all night and dream those plans all day
Then one day wonder when
You lost the plot and found dead ends
Lined with picket fences and only being okay

What if it’s cold outside oh what if it’s cold outside
I keep moving
What if I waste my time oh what if I waste my time
I keep moving
What if I’m overthinking everything that I should do
When nothing’s safer than doing nothing
So tell me what I’m picking cause I sure as hell can’t choose
And am I staying here, home and safe with all my fears?
It’s all tempting but a waste
Of my energy and my sanity either way
I need to take a chance and pray that it’s a get out of jail free card
And if it fails I’m moving on
What if I’m kneeling at the restarting line of the track
To get moving
I keep telling myself that there’s still a bit more fuel in the tank
and I’m moving
What if I’m oversimplifying things that I must do
I’m so damn scared of doing something
So tell me what I’m picking cause I sure as hell can’t choose
And tell me am I staying here, home and safe with all my fears?
It’s all tempting but a waste
Of my energy and my sanity either way
I need to take a chance and pray that it’s a get out of jail free card
And if it fails I’m moving on
What if it’s cold outside oh what if it’s cold outside
I keep moving
What if I lose my mind oh what if I lose my mind
I keep moving
