[Intro, spoken]
You ever been so sick and tired, of the same shit every day, day in and day out, that you just feel like; like what's the point?
When all you really wanna do is what you want to do, instead of what you have to do?
Well, listen:
[Verse 1]
Twenty-two years old
I'm halfway between here and an open road
But I don't know which way to go-oh
All I know is that I've got to go
[Verse 2]
See I'm twenty-two
But in two months I'll be twenty-three
Well on my way to living out my lifelong dreams
And you can give hate, or you can give love
But when push comes to shove I'll be rising up above
I'm gonna strum these strings
Try my best to sing
Make the world listen
And see what that brings
Twenty-two years of age
Flipping to the next page
Killing them softly with my songs until I break the stage because
[Chorus]
Each and every single year
It becomes to my just a bit more clear
That hate is love with a touch of fear
And I'm all done, all done with fear
[Bridge, spoken]
Haha, you see
This life is way too short to be... afraid of trying to do what you wanna do
With it, you know?
Knowing be what you wanna be?
Took me twenty three years to figure that one out
There's always going to be people trying to bring you down
But there's always going to be people trying to bring you up too
It's just, you know, what is this life, what do you make of it, why are you here?
[Chorus]
Each and every single year
It becomes to my just a bit more clear
That hate is love with a touch of fear
But I'm all done, yes I swear I'm all done with fear
[Verse 3]
Now I work every day with nails, hammers and saws
But it's just way too cold and it never brings applause
See I've spent all my free minutes trying to write this music
And I'll be damned if I reach the window and I've never used it
So pay attention over these next few years
Cause I'm gonna make sure that every one of you hears
And time is of the essence, it always disappears
So Imma stop watching the clock and bury all my fears
Some people think I'm crazy, some think I'm just insane
Well either one is fine with me, at least you know my name
I never had great aim, but I'm about to take the shot
Cause this life is what you make it, and this life is all I got
You ever been so sick and tired, of the same shit every day, day in and day out, that you just feel like; like what's the point?
When all you really wanna do is what you want to do, instead of what you have to do?
