Pressure

There's a car out by the meadow

It's all rusted and decayed

I've been wandering out there to get away when I start to overthink

About the path I'm meant to follow

And all that's standing in my way

I'm afraid if I abandon hope

My fate might be the same

The pressure is building

Time is running out

I've been counting seconds

Can't make up my mind

I'm always second guessing

If I fail

Can I pull my life together?

No way I can know

So I keep deflecting

Any thought I have

But they just keep coming back

When you're young they say you're special

And you can follow all your dreams

But when you're older they will say

Wake up and face reality

Now all you've got's a broken smile

From all the years you cut your teeth

And you were missing out on life

Waiting for what you won't achieve

The pressure is building

Time is running out

I've been counting seconds

Can't make up my mind

I'm always second guessing

If I fail

Can I pull my life together?

No way I can know

So I keep deflecting any thought I have

But they just keep coming back

And it's easy to say that I'm not giving up

And it's easy to say that I'm not giving up

But it's harder to face that it's never enough

But it's harder to face that I'm still fucking putting in effort

When will it ever pay off?

It feels like it's never enough

All of this effort

When will it ever pay off?

The pressure is building

Time is running out

I've been counting seconds

Can't make up my mind

I'm always second guessing

If I fail

Can I pull my life together?

No way I can know

So I keep deflecting any thought I have

But they just keep coming back
