Saturday

Rest can wait

I got a list a million letters long

Nothing planned till I reach the end

No reward

I can’t afford

To indulge in pleasures till this list is gone

Reverie won’t get the best of me

And I try, I try, I try

But I just can’t get it right

Am I the only one?

Yeah I try, I try, I try oh

Yet the end is not in sight

In sight

What’s it like

To close your eyes

Without time bombs ticking off inside your head?

Lay me down–and I get stressed out

And I try, I try, I try

But I just can’t get it right

Am I the only one?

Yeah I try, I try, I try oh

Yet the end is not in sight

In sight

Every day goes by

And I find another line below

And I ask myself

Is this what it is to be full-grown?

Measure life by lines

And you’ll never find the time to go slow

In the afterlife, will I make some time?

Will I learn to let it go?

And I try, I try, I try

But I just can’t get it right

Am I the only one?

Yeah I try, I try, I try oh

Yet the end is not in sight

No it’s not in sight

And I try, I try, I try

But I just can’t get it right

Am I the only one?

Oh no no no

Yeah I try, I try, I try oh

Yet the end is not in sight

In sight

Oh no no no
