There Is No Rush

Living life from a backseat view And never closer Being there with you is not something I could do Burning time with my back to you Looking for answers In longing for the past but neglecting what's ahead You said, "Look forward to the things we all Dreamed of when we were young…" When we were younger, the world made sense in every way The skies looked brighter and we felt so free The years bring wisdom but the dimming of the light came along And we all took our separate paths; we travel them alone Do we believe in the world we knew Or the one that now stands before us? Do we enjoy this life Or live it like they told us to? …live it like they told us to We're living on our strings Like they told us to Self-aware as I mourn my fading youth Even writing these words down, my eyes burn This life of love and loss looks balanced from afar But inside, it burns… Do we believe in the world we knew Or the one that now stands before us? Do we enjoy this life Or live it like they told us to? We fall.
