Now and then
I pace my place
I can't retrace how I got here
I cheat and lie
To check my fates
It's slightly harder than last year
And all at once
It gets hard to take
It gets hard to fake what I won't be
Cause one of these days
I'll be born and raised
And it's such a waste to grow up lonely
I still have dreams
They're not the same
They don't fly as high as they used to
I saw my friend
He's in my head
And he said, "you don't remember me do you?"
And all at once
It gets hard to take
It gets hard to fake what I won't be
Cause one of these days
I'll be born and raised
And it's such a waste to grow up lonely
I still got time
I still got faith
I call on both of my brothers
I got a mom
I got a dad
But they do not have each other
So line on up
And take your place
And show your face to the morning
Cause one of these days
You'll be born and raised
And it takes you on without warning
