lyrics

1, 2, 3, 4!

Once I’ve found the place to be
I’d like to keep it near to me
But what would happen should I leave
I don’t know. Could I know?

If the springtime would come again
I’d stop and smell a rose and then
I would know where to go from here.

Two letters. One go-getter.
If only the weather were simply better.

But oh, it’s gotta feel just right
Before the future becomes bright.
Oh, it’s gotta feel just right.
That way I can see that end-of-the-tunnel light.

If I go in the wrong direction
I might lose all my affection
For the things I used to love
Like having fun with the friends I’ve found.

And that’s why I have to try
So as not to have to say goodbye to you.
The end.

It’s not fair.
It’s only clear back there.
I could swear.
Swear that I really have gone nowhere.

Was there ever a time where I felt right?
If there was it’s out of sight.
That’s why it’s gotta be just right
So that way I can finally take flight.

Our life is fleeting
And you can’t keep meeting
All the expectations you have in your gut.
It’ll only leave you stuck in a rut.
So just move on.
Move on.

So now I confide I’ll take the journey in stride
And while I’d prefer it to be just right
I have to take time- not let time take me nickel for dime
And then, maybe, I’d finally feel alright.
