When you're young, they tell you, the world is your oyster, everything's ahead of you
It's only when you're on your knees, well into your twenties, you realise what that means

You start to realise time is not renewable, Youth is unsustainable, You learn to ignore the feeling that life is passing you by Because you don't even know how to try

There's a snapshot in my head Of me, where I belong In the background, there are people And the roads are winding and long There's a sparkle in my eye because I know what's right for me And I know what I'm doing I know what I'm doing I just don't know what I see
When you're young, you don't need nothing to believe in, and no one needs to tell you, "believe in yourself"
It seems so easy, I'll grow up and eventually, I'll know exactly how to follow my path
But you start to realise, there's no magic wand You start to realise, this might be your lot Because one day, you suspect this might be sabotage So how do you win at your own game When you've made it so goddamn hard?
