All This Time

VERSE 1:
He said,
"Boy, you've lived long enough to know some things by now."
I said, "You might be right, but somehow I feel
like I'm just finally waking up to brighter lights."
And he said, "Well, let me give you just one hint:
all the glitter and poise ain't what it's sold to be."
And I said, "Hey, that's fine with me
I'm just tired of all the noise inside my head,
Keeps telling me
Who I'm gonna be,
Still catching up with who I am

VERSE 2:
So listen,
Lately I've been caught staring at the sky,
Wondering what a girl would call that shade of blue
Running into smiles every time I stop watching where I'm going.
And I can't tell what it is that's changed,
Maybe just my particular point of view,
And seeing that
Being caught alive is no excuse for barely breathing
While chasing
Who I'm gonna be
Still catching up with who I am

CHORUS:
All this time, I've been waiting for what?
I couldn't name it, but I
Think I've been wasting mine.
Now I'm spending more time chasing the sky,
May never make it,
But I can say I gave it a try
I've been blind, but I'm gonna get it right this time

VERSE 3:
He said,
"Boy, you've got a life to live,
It may be just one day,
But don't you throw it away,
'Cause one last day
May be all that it would take
To finally reach that sky
So I won't waste
One more breath -- no second glances
Asking how or why
When here we have the when
And I won't wait
Here giving any second chances to my yesterdays
That keep telling me
Who I'm gonna be,
Still catching up with who I am...

[CHORUS]

BRIDGE:
Don't go wasting, don't go wasting time
