I push past what's now
And envision myself in three days
Under the big blue sky
Without my shiny shoes or my kind regards
And I know how I feel
And what the cause is and how to fix it
I've scheduled times to strike
And re-route the tracks that I don't like walking on
But there's a plethora of considerations that I must take
Before acting on these decisions
But maybe I've ranked them in the wrong order
My timekeeper never stops
And if it did, I wouldn't know
All my big life decisions
Stand timidly in a familiar old row
But the seconds run away
And like yesterday, I throw away the key
But I shouldn't wait for it
'Cause happiness doesn't wait for me
If I don't do it right now
And walk straight down the middle
I'm depriving myself
Of dreams I had when I was little
♪
I decline opportunity
In hope that there's a better one ahead
Just around the corner
I don't have to wait much longer
I've been told that patience is a virtue
Deficiency can hurt you
On common ground we stand
In the pursuit for contentment
But luck's just that
Some smiles don't reach their full extension
My timekeeper never stops
And if it did, I wouldn't know
All my big life decisions
Stand timidly in a familiar old row
But the seconds run away
And like yesterday, I throw away the key
But I shouldn't wait for it
'Cause happiness doesn't wait for me
If I don't do it right now
And walk straight down the middle
I'm depriving myself
Of dreams I had when I was little
♪
But I've been waiting for far too long
My choices could be wrong
But it's drifting away
And I can't really repeat yesterday
So I put my head out
It looks different and I still have my doubts
But I shouldn't wait for it
'Cause happiness doesn't wait for me
'Cause happiness doesn't wait for me
