Carpe Diem

yeah
yo, uh
i remember christmas shopping
at the dollar store
staring at my mom like, i wish i could buy you more
things happen for a reason, that's just what they say
and if you never chase your dreams, then they'll run away
uh, aim high never be a chaser
my family never hears goodbyes, only see you laters
working at my old job going up the elevator
just to tell my boss i quit, i never thought that i would say it
couple years ago i said i'll never go to church
but look at me now, it's kinda funny how it works
i guess that's being human
oh we all go through it
the only way you live life is when you start to lose it: hook:
just a young boy trying to find a way
(it's not how good you are, it's how good you wanna be)
they say carpe diem, you gotta seize the day
(it's not how good you are, it's how good you wanna be)

yeah, uh
my second home has become a plane
been traveling so much the pilots know our names
in metropolis still looking for my louis lane
if i was married to my last girl
i'd probably be divorced
i never had a choice, we always had to win
we treated school like church, and we never went
my mom said, "is it too much to have you graduate?
is not like i'm asking you to be the president!"
i'm trying to find the girl who loves me for me
might take her back to '94 and rock some wallabees
sub-urban kids listening to wu-tang
explaining to my parents like i'm flying out in two days
i'm standing on my desk like a dead poet
and if you love someone, tell them or they'll never notice
i never with trends, i just try to make 'em
i'm a misfit 'til i die, and i'm never changing: hook:
just a young boy trying to find a way
(it's not how good you are, it's how good you wanna be)
they say carpe diem, you gotta seize the day
(it's not how good you are, it's how good you wanna be)
