I'm making plans to pass the time
I write these songs, they seldom rhyme
I used to quit, but now I smoke
This life's the only one I know
I've got some friends I never see
I wait but nothing's happening
I asked you if you felt the same
You know the rules; won't play the game
If I woke up now
from a life-long dream
I'd make sure to write it down
Cause I'd like to think
that I've learned some things
Though it's too late now
I've watched my days turn into nights
I've seen the city, but not the sights
I've broken hearts, so mine won't break
I try to learn from my mistakes
I learned my lines, I'll play my part
I love the ending, but I don't know where to start
So if you're looking for someone to lead
Don't follow me
--Chorus--
So I won't sleep; I will not hide
It's time to follow my advice
And when it's time to pay dues
I'll let my life be my excuse
--Chorus--
