lyrics

No I’ve never had a day
Where I didn't question
If I'm living my life in the right way
Chasing the spotlight it’s always in view
But it's always so far away

Picked up guitar at ten years old
And I haven't put it down for twelve years now
No I’m not giving up that easily
No I’m not giving up that easily

Sometimes I wonder if I need to grow up
I’m trying to live out a dream but the odds are against me
But I’ll never give up even if I spend my whole life trying
When I’m grey and old, I’ll look back and say we had a good time
We had the best time

Writing in my old school book
Sat here alone in my busted ass car
I'm 22 and I’m just getting older
You can’t just quit when you've come this far

Sometimes I wonder if I need to grow up
I’m trying to live out a dream but the odds are against me
But I’ll never give up even if I spend my whole life trying
When I’m grey old, I’ll look back and say we had a good time
We had the best time

My bodies aching I'm finding it hard
To write down my thoughts in the lines of these songs
Sleepless nights feeling uninspired
But no matter what I keep moving on

Sometimes I wonder if I need to grow up
I’m trying to live out a dream but the odds are against me
But I’ll never give up even if I spend my whole life trying
When I’m grey and old, I’ll look back and say we had a good time
We had the best time
