What Are You Doing With Your Life?

The pressure to grow up is drawing near The walls are closing in An anxious boy caught in the crowd Perhaps I'm just not ready to fit in Sometimes I feel the weight of the world in my mind But the patient dreamer weathers the storm They ask what you're doing with your life The empty words pass through my head I'll sail across the ocean instead Visions of the rising tides Calling out my name into the unknown Whether courage carries through Is something I must find out on my own Sometimes I feel the weight of the world in my mind But the patient dreamer weathers the storm They say what you're doing's a waste of time The empty words pass through my head I'll sail across the ocean instead Maybe I'm a fool throwing my body to the wolves But the open water 's where I belong From the outside it's bizarre willing to journey this far But regret can come to those who wait too long Fearing the danger, I won't make it to the end But the fall will help me understand That maybe my ship was never meant to fly But I'd rather take the fall than never try Sometimes I feel the weight of the world in my mind But the patient dreamer weathers the storm They ask what you're doing with your life The empty words pass through my head They say what you're doing's a waste of time The empty words pass through my head I'm gonna be my own man All of their words pass through my head I'll sail across the ocean instead
