I'm making plans to pass the time
I write these songs; they seldom rhyme
I used to quit, but now I smoke
This life's the only one I know
I've got some friends I never see
I wait but nothing's happening
I asked you if you felt the same
You know the rules, won't play the game
If I woke up now from a life long dream I'd make sure to write it down
'Cause I'd like to think that I've learned some things
Though it's too late now
I watched my days turn into nights
I've seen the city but not the sights
I've broken hearts so mine won't break
I tried to learn from my mistakes
I learned my lines, and I'll play my part
I love the ending but I don't know where to start
So if you're looking for someone to lead
Don't follow me
'Cause if I woke up now from a life long dream I'd make sure to write it down
'Cause I'd like to think that I've learned some things
Though it's too late now
So I won't sleep; I will not hide
It's time to follow my own advice
And when it's time to pay my dues
I'll let me life be my excuse
'Cause if I woke up now from a life long dream I'd make sure to write it down
'Cause I'd like to think that I've learned some things
Though it's too late now
