You ever stop and take a second to think about what you wanted to be when you grew up?

Maybe a superhero, writer, firefighter, chef, a doctor or a movie star?

When I was younger, I had hunger to be best of the best,

Nothing less

That feels so far away, despite growing pains and stomach pangs

You ever stop and take a minute to reflect, and rest and think about how far you’ve really made it?

Or do you focus on mistakes you’ve made and risks in hindsight that you really wish you would’ve taken?

Medals around my neck, now I’m in last place

Pressure turned into albatross, and I’m losing the race

Don’t wanna lose the race

They say that I’ve got all the time in the world

Got such a good thing going, a beautiful girl

But I’m so terrified of what’s coming next,

I can’t catch my breath

Please order my steps

They say that I’ve got all the time in the world

Got such a good thing going, a beautiful girl

But I’m so terrified of what’s coming next,

I can’t catch my breath

Please order my steps

What if I can’t have it all?

What if I try, fail and fall again?

What if I can’t have it all?

What if I try, fail and fall again?

What if I can’t have it all?

What if I try, fail and fall again?

If we’re being honest, all I ever wanted was some direction

Someone else to shift my perspective

I’ve been running, racing, chasing dreams while awake and

Laying every brick by hand to build a foundation

Just to watch it crumble, just to watch it tumble, just for them to mumble that I made mistakes they wouldn’t have, I fumbled yeah

I know

I can’t do this on my own

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I can’t do this all alone, but

If I let you in, will I let you win?

Should I let you know? Or should I let you go?

Only Heaven knows

Wish you would make your intentions known

A sheep in wolf’s clothing or a shepherd showing me the ropes

Colors could mean pride or poison but I’ll never know since

Everything to me is black & white, yeah, it’s all monochrome here

Keep it monotone, keep protecting your emotions

Can’t get hurt or used or broken down if you’re alone, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Keep it monotone, keep protecting your emotions

Can’t get hurt or used or broken down if you’re alone, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Keep it monotone, keep protecting your emotions

I’ve been hurt and used and broken now I’d rather be alone, yeah

But I know

I can’t do this on my own

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

I can’t do this all alone, but

Way, way, way, way, way down

I long to feel at home in the sound

Of a little less distance

Even if I end up with a little bit of dissonance

Someday, somewhere, some way, somehow

I want to keep soft voices around

To let the love in, to let the light in

I know it’s waiting, behind the curtain

It’s there

 I’m certain

Whenever you’re ready

Whenever you’re ready

Whenever you’re ready

Whenever you’re ready

One day, I’ll be ready

One day, I’ll be ready

One day, I’ll be ready

One day, I’ll be ready
