We've all been waiting for so long
For life to start that we forgot that life won't wait
Even if we're not ready
So we make plans
We know won't happen
But we happen to forget that people purposefully plan pointlessly
You can't fail if you don't try
So we tell lies to try disguise we're terrified we'll aim too high next time
And we build homes to house our hearts
And hope like hell they'll hold our hopes at bay
Just long enough
It is not too late to save us
From the people we've become
You can stop yourself from drowning
If you only take a breath
Don't forget to live for something
Before you die
Time is ruthless
So make sure you use it to live your life
When I was four
I learned that pilots, firemen and astronauts
Are normal people and those things are just their jobs
When I was six I learned that lying only works if you believe that lie yourself
Before you lie to someone else
When I was eight I learned that adults also cry
Although their hurt is usually caused
By things they've never tried
So while we're young
Let's take a chance
To practice our self-confidence
And make decisions we'll never be ashamed of
It is not too late to save us
From the people we've become
You can stop yourself from drowning
If you only take a breath
Don't forget to live for something
Before you die
Time is ruthless
So make sure you use it to live your life
