On Track

I close my front door
And turn on the light

I let out a breath
And hold in a sigh

Ain't nothing new
Ain't that much in sight

And if I'm counting days
Dream fruition ain't
What it's lookin' like.

But strictly speaking I'm still on track
Strictly speaking I'm holding on
More than a minor setback
But strictly speaking I'm still on track

And all of my dreams are still in sight
Cos strictly speaking I've got my whole life
I lost a wheel a while back
But strictly speaking I'm still on track

Challenges falling in my lap
Strung out again but still on track

I know it's unrealistic
Over-optimistic
I know I tried before this
I know it's nearly August
I know I can't ignore this
I'm looking forward to all this
Saying "babe I just adore this"
And "babe can we afford this?"
I know it's been a slow year
Nothing much to show here
I didn't really go for it
So not a lot to show for it

The hardest part is over
Adjusting makes it slower
So glad you're coming over
A wall to bring us closer
The world ain't rooting for ya
Nothing to lose it over
We're just a little older
The rest comes easy

But strictly speaking I'm still on track
Strictly speaking I'm holding back
Struggles keep falling in my lap
Yeah, but strictly speaking I'm still on track

So tell everyone I'll be alright
Cos strictly speaking I've got my whole life
More than one major setback
But strictly speaking I'm still on track

The hardest part is over
Adjusting makes it slower
So glad you're coming over
A wall to bring us closer
The world ain't rooting for ya
Nothing to lose it over
We're just a little older
The rest comes easy
