Happiness

I push past what's now And envision myself in three days Under the big blue sky Without my shiny shoes or my kind regards And I know how I feel And what the cause is and how to fix it I've scheduled times to strike And re-route the tracks that I don't like walking on But there's a plethora of considerations that I must take Before acting on these decisions But maybe I've ranked them in the wrong order My timekeeper never stops And if it did, I wouldn't know All my big life decisions Stand timidly in a familiar old row But the seconds run away And like yesterday, I throw away the key But I shouldn't wait for it 'Cause happiness doesn't wait for me If I don't do it right now And walk straight down the middle I'm depriving myself Of dreams I had when I was little I decline opportunity In hope that there's a better one ahead Just around the corner I don't have to wait much longer I've been told that patience is a virtue Deficiency can hurt you On common ground we stand In the pursuit for contentment But luck's just that Some smiles don't reach their full extension My timekeeper never stops And if it did, I wouldn't know All my big life decisions Stand timidly in a familiar old row But the seconds run away And like yesterday, I throw away the key But I shouldn't wait for it 'Cause happiness doesn't wait for me If I don't do it right now And walk straight down the middle I'm depriving myself Of dreams I had when I was little But I've been waiting for far too long My choices could be wrong But it's drifting away And I can't really repeat yesterday So I put my head out It looks different and I still have my doubts But I shouldn't wait for it 'Cause happiness doesn't wait for me 'Cause happiness doesn't wait for me
