along the line
By the time I turned 5
I was meant to decide
What I'd do with my life
What I'd do in the meantime
And the day I turned 8
It was far too late
To change my mind
Even more so by 9
At 12 I learned it's hard to tell
Just what to best do with yourself
When there are too many options
And no one to help you solve 'em
Yes, the day I turned 16
I kissed goodbye to my sweet old dream
And I gave myself into the knowledge
That I'd be alright if I braved through all of this
Somewhere along the line
Somebody lied
I opened my eyes
And I could see everything
Somewhere along the line
I realized
That all I need
Is within reach, in front of me
Yeah
At 17 I quickly heard
That most of the folks on this planet earth
Live to work and work for life
Always preppin' for a greener time
At 19 this was reinforced
When I jumped into a job headfirst
And I spoke to many souls encumbered
Ignoring that their days are numbered
Yes, the day I turned ripe old 20
I had no answers but thoughts-a-plenty
And sickly-sweet realities
Of a balance between all the dreams
This morning I turned 21
Floating between old and young
And though they say the clock is tickin'
I won't be layin' panic-stricken, oh no
Somewhere along the line
Somebody lied
I opened my eyes
And I could see everything
Somewhere along the line
I realized
That all I need
Is within reach, in front of me
Yeah
Tonight I'm turning 22
The event horizon of my youth
And in a blink, the time had flown
Oh, doesn't it injure, growing old
'Cuz I always knew what I wanted to be
Somewhere in the sun, sittin' all happy
But despite all of the planning too
I somehow still don't have a clue
Somewhere along the line
Somebody lied
I opened my eyes
And I could see everything
Somewhere along the line
I realized
That all I need
Is within reach, in front of
Somewhere along the line
Somebody lied
I opened my eyes
And I could see everything
Somewhere along the line
I realized
That all I need
Is within reach, in front of me
Somewhere along the line
Somebody lied
I opened my eyes
And I could see everything
Somewhere along the line
I realized
That all I need
Is within reach, in front of me
Yeah
Somewhere along the line
Somewhere along the line
Somewhere along the line
Somewhere along the line
I was meant to decide
What I'd do with my life
What I'd do in the meantime
And the day I turned 8
