Get Started

I tried to sleep but it wasn't dark enough
I tried to read, I tried to write
But there wasn't enough light
I tried to meditate but couldn't still my thoughts
I tried to turn it down a notch
But found that I could not

So get started while you are young
'cause it'll take 'til you are old
And get started while you are young
'cause it'll take 'til you are old

It's such a subtle shift
Sometimes it takes years
To get the gist of how it changed
Something so small caused the sequence of it all
To start a slow unraveling

So get started while you are young
'cause it'll take 'til you are old
And get started while you are young
'cause it'll take 'til you are old

A map of every turn and twist
A map of every sign you missed
The sum of all your broken parts
The sum of every jump gun start
Add it all up and you'll find
You needed every single second
And there wasn't enough time

So get started while you are young
'cause it'll take 'til you are old
And get started while you are young
'cause it'll take 'til you are old
