For My Younger Self

The sun rises, replaces the moon
I go back to bed, it'll be over soon
The sun comes back, it rises again
Maybe it's better that I just stay in bed

I wonder where the lust for life is gone
Over again, I reach for the strength to hold on
I stay here, watching life from afar
I'm waiting for the excuse it's too cold again

Would you tell me the truth
If I asked you if I wasted my youth
Being too concerned
With things that haven't even happened

You read between the lines
You don't even open your eyes
To see that maybe
There's a life to be lived

Went on a walk the other day
They say it's best to clear your mind
I chose to look at the sun for once
It didn't even hurt my eyes

So consumed
In what I assume
To be what everyone else
Is consumed in as well

Would you tell me the truth
If I asked you if I wasted my youth
Being too concerned
With things that haven't even happened

You read between the lines
You don't even open your eyes
To see that maybe
There's a life to be lived

Don't grow older quicker than you need to
Don't mourn anybody who leaves you
Listen to your gut, it knows how to lead you
Hold your head high, there's more to life than what's beneath you

Would you tell me the truth
If I asked you if I wasted my youth
Being too concerned
With things that haven't even happened

You read between the lines
You don't even open your eyes
To see that maybe
There's a life to be lived

To see that maybe
It's yourself you have to forgive

To see that maybe
There's a life to be lived
