The first page of an empty notebook
Like the first stage of my open playbook
Making out like I didn't care didn't get me anywhere
Took me nowhere
I'm broken and bare
I'm tired of doing the dirty work
Looking for that
The life lesson
But I'm guessing no one ever taught me this lesson
Take what you deserve and quit
Quit asking for permission
The only question you'll be asked at the top
Is "Where've you been?"
"What'd you take, a pit stop?"
Forget it, Imma do me from now on
And stop tripping out about this doubt
Yeah, and where I belong.
They say "Dream big, bigger than ever before"
But if I keep dreaming, time will keep flying through that door.
They say "Pick something, something you can steer towards."
"But it's got to be something worth aiming for."
So I shoot for the moon, hoping to land in the stars
But I'm constantly being blocked by Venus and Mars
So I just sit back, see if it's in the cards
Waiting to play my lonely queen of hearts
I think it's time to start over
Set the record straight
This time when I start over
I won't hesitate
I thought this passion was something that's supposed to last ya
But if I don't use it I promised I'd go stagnant
I'm tired of people asking why I'm missing in action
I was supposed to be this big main attraction
But kept making excuses like I was distracted
Lacked enthusiasm or financial backing.
But the truth is, procrastination is the lag time
Between thought and action
I'm consumed with being better
Better than I was yesterday
But that's a tricky game because yesterday's a different day.
And I don't go to the past
Cuz when I do, I'm suddenly aware of all the time that's lapsed
I've wasted all that time looking back
And now I'm two halves
Split between the future and the past
Never present, just obsessing over every task
Stuck in this endless looping soundtrack
There's no reset button on my back
I think it's time to start over
Set the record straight
This time when I start over
I won't hesitate
So let's just drink a little tonight
Enough to make this right
Saying, "Next time."
"Next time."
So pour me just a little more
And I'll forget what I should ignore
Saying, "There's no pretending anymore."
I think it's time to start over
Set the record straight
This time when I start over
I won't hesitate
