lyrics
I get up, I brush my teeth
That’s more than I do on other days
I think of all my dreams
They seem so distant to me
I procrastinate, assassinate my fate
I feel like it's time, my life should start right now
But I don’t know if I can do it
I sit and stare at all these sheets
Of paper with half written songs inscribed
A hypocrite’s advice
Try not to waste your life
Blink for one second, it’ll pass you by
As I blink, I think there's so much left for me
Am I enough to pursue it?
My script’s not done, not even half written
I'm scared and unprepared; sometimes I think there’s no way
It’s a magic trick being optimistic
What do you do when you just wanna play guitar all day?
Eternally hurdling, we emerge our future selves
And hopefully you can get through it
That’s more than I do on other days
I think of all my dreams
They seem so distant to me
I procrastinate, assassinate my fate
I feel like it's time, my life should start right now
But I don’t know if I can do it
I sit and stare at all these sheets
Of paper with half written songs inscribed
A hypocrite’s advice
Try not to waste your life
Blink for one second, it’ll pass you by
As I blink, I think there's so much left for me
Am I enough to pursue it?
My script’s not done, not even half written
I'm scared and unprepared; sometimes I think there’s no way
It’s a magic trick being optimistic
What do you do when you just wanna play guitar all day?
Eternally hurdling, we emerge our future selves
And hopefully you can get through it
