The Ant
Ever since I was young
I'd prepare for when I'd be older
But no one ever told me
When that time would be
'Cause the letters on my tombstone
Have all been writ' you see
And I gotta look beyond
As there's no way back for me
Can you tell me why it always feels
Like I'm wasting youth away
And now I just have to say
There is no way
Ever since I was young
I'd prepare for when I'd be older
Now I'm eighty and still waiting
And in the past I linger longer
For days I dream of being me
But I'll never become who I used to be
Can you tell me why it always feels
Like I'm wasting youth away
And now I just have to say
There is no way
Can you tell me when is this enough?
When is this enough?
Can you tell me when is this enough?
When is this enough?
Ever since I was young
I'd prepare for when I'd be older
But no one ever told me
When that time would be
'Cause the letters on my tombstone
Have all been writ' you see
And I gotta look beyond
As there's no way back for me
Can you tell me why it always feels
Like I'm wasting youth away
And now I just have to say
There is no way
Ever since I was young
I'd prepare for when I'd be older
Now I'm eighty and still waiting
And in the past I linger longer
For days I dream of being me
But I'll never become who I used to be
Can you tell me why it always feels
Like I'm wasting youth away
And now I just have to say
There is no way
Can you tell me when is this enough?
When is this enough?
Can you tell me when is this enough?
When is this enough?
Ever since I was young
