Standing at the gate wishing you goodbye
'You better go, you got a plane to catch'
You said you don't know when you'll make it back
[?] there was nothing I could say to that
You gotta live out your dreams, gotta make that call
Gotta take that chance, gotta stand up tall
Gotta fly so high, and if you should fall
Just know that I'll be there to catch you through it all
Before you go we hold the phone up, snap a frame
So we can look back down memory lane
Feels like I keep on tryna capture these moments
But they keep slippin' through my fingers all the same
And these days everybody's making their nest
Doing their best to get ahead in this mess
And I don't wanna live with regret
So instead I forgive and try and never forget
To just
Hold on
As far as they may seem sometimes
You always got your dreams
But you gotta
Let go
As hard as it may be sometimes
Things that could've been
You gotta have the skills to pay the bills
Time is catching up; hot on your heels
Gotta wait your turn 'fore you take the wheel
Learn to make a meal 'fore you make a mill'
Said you gotta have the skills to pay the bills
Time is catching up; hot on your heels
Learn to make a meal 'fore you make a mill'
Nothing stands still and that's on the real
Do you ever wish that you could be in two places
At the same time? Living different lives, coexisting
Do you ever wish that you could know the ending
So you could go back to the beginning and get it right?
I used to feel like anything was possible
Like I could head in any direction I wanted to
Overcome any obstacle, but I learned that
Thinking that way isn't logical, it's not optional
You gotta pick a path
And stay true to whatever's in your heart
And if that means that we gotta be apart
Well there'll be days when that's gonna be hard
But we gotta try and
Hold on
As far as they may seem sometimes
You've always got your dreams
But you gotta
Let go
As hard as it may be sometimes
Things that could've been
You gotta have the skills to pay the bills
Time is catching up; hot on your heels
Gotta wait your turn 'fore you take the wheel
Learn to make a meal 'fore you make a mill'
Said you gotta have the skills to pay the bills
Time is catching up; hot on your heels
Learn to make a meal 'fore you make a mill'
Nothing stands still and that's on the real.
