[Chorus]

Can you hear me calling? Am I wasting time?

I can hear the echoes, left with no reply

Can you hear me calling? Left inside my mind

What was once a fire, now their embers lie, goodbye

[Verse 1]

Where did you go? We used to be kids, now, I feel so grown

I miss being free, to be me, not alone

I used to have friends, but we don't talk anymore

I guess that's on me, I got busy

I used to drink soda, now, I switched to whiskey

I didn't want time to pass, but time is fast

I just wish you were more than memories

I got kids now, but I'm a kid now

I haven't grown in my mind, just my skin now

I don't get taxes, I hate chores

I hate mail, bills, and miss the outdoors

I feel like the air used to smell different

The grass was greener and the summers were for swimmin'

I used to play baseball, every inning, now I work for a livin'

[Chorus]

Can you hear me calling? Am I wasting time?

I can hear the echoes, left with no reply

Can you hear me calling? Left inside my mind

What was once a fire, now their embers lie, goodbye

[Verse 2]

I watch more podcasts and hear less music

My brain feels different and I don't wanna lose it

I try to stay healthy, but I'm tired all the time

'Cause there's too much on my mind

Got into meditation, just try to be more patient

Find a passion, a purpose or a reason to keep chasing

All the dreams that I had when I was a little kid

Whatever happened to those dreams?

Man, they're something that I miss

Maybe, I should do this, I always love music

Maybe, I could find a way to make these dreams lucid

I really wanna try 'cause I might have a chance

Before I die to see the world with a soulmate by my side

Yeah, that would be the life, not a fucking nine-to-five

I wanna feel alive for a minute at a time

Let the kid out that's been stuck, captive on the inside

Who had dreams, big things were gonna come from his life

[Chorus]

Can you hear me calling? Am I wasting time?

I can hear the echoes, left with no reply

Can you hear me calling? Left inside my mind

What was once a fire, now their embers lie, goodbye

[Outro]

Can you hear me calling?
