I don't think I ever know
If I ever really want it
Could be why I'm never sure
If I ever really got it
And I guess it's maybe easier
Not to think too much about it
A house a car a family and friends
Yeah all it means to justify the ends
But sometimes I wonder
In the back of my mind
Sometimes I wonder
If I'm wasting all my time
Sometimes I wonder
If I'm putting off my real life
What I could've done,
Where I could've been
When I should've gone,
Why I should've seen
Who I would've loved,
How I would've dreamed
And if it's always always too late
I don't think I ever know
That I ever really need it
Could be why I'm never sure
That I ever really feel it
And I think it's maybe easier
To guess I really mean it
A house! A car! A family and friends!
Yeah all it means to justify the ends
But sometimes I wonder
A girl! A smile! A holiday and sex!
Yeah all it takes
To make sense of the rest
But sometimes I wonder
In the back of my mind
Sometimes I wonder
If I'm killing all my time
Sometimes I wonder
If I'm giving up my real life
What I could've done,
Where I could've been
When I should've gone,
Why I should've seen
Who I would've loved,
How I would've dreamed
And if it's always, always too late
And every day that I let slide
Is one day more I never try
To break the world
To make my fate
And with every day that I let go
It's one day less I ever know
If it's always
Always too late
