We Can't Afford

The bright lights shaded by and existence thats slowly fading
And I am, forced to reflect on who I am and what I’ve done
21 and fearing things to come and where I’m gonna be and will I find someone
I could be gone when the sun goes down
and yet I’m walking around staring at the ground
Time passes by so fast, I need some time to stop and think about it I wonder where I’ll be in a couple years and if I’m still alive,
Am I living my life
And after all is said and done, I look back at what i’ve become
And I am, honestly questioning if my time was well spent
Ready, set, no wait not ready to go, I have a good excuse I had some things to do Another year and I’ve forgotten the fear that this might be the day that I’ll
be taken away
Sometimes I feel like I’m a day away,
just a day away from everything I want to be Tomorrow comes and I realize I’m where I was just a day ago tonight
Tonight, tonight I’ll live my life
