I can wait

I wish I didn’t look this way

I wish I wasn’t so young in age

I can’t wait til Saturday

I can’t wait til my birthday

I wish the sky wasn’t so grey

I wish there wasn’t any rain

I can’t wait to move from this place

I can’t wait til I don’t have to listen to what you say

I wish I had more games to play

I wish I could have that name

I can’t wait to board that plane

I can’t wait to do it my way

Then somewhere along the way

You quit wishing the same

You realize you should wait

Because when you can’t

You miss it

Then it’s never the same

You always wait for the day

When everything is great

Then realize the day for which you wait

Is already gone, it’s yesterday

Your innocence is gone

Those blue shades

You used to watch as you lay

In the grass

Have slowly changed to grey

Because everything gets duller when you change

You lose your sense of presence

You lose the excitement in your face

It’s no longer fun to run

And go out in the rain

Instead you close your blinds

And wait for the clouds to break

So you can go out once it’s sunny

But then it’s too hot, you say

So you wait til a better day

But at that point you’re busy

And it’s too late

So you missed it

It’s yesterday

It’s funny how we say

“Tomorrow will be better”

“Tomorrow will be the day”

Then tomorrow never comes

It’s just something that we chase

Because in reality all we really have

Is what’s in front of our face

Today is the day

I wish I was younger

I wish I didn’t feel my age

I can wait til December

I can wait to move away

I wish I had gone out more

When it started to rain

I wish I could hear your voice

Telling me you wish I’d stay

Younger, and never move away

I can’t wait for tomorrow

To finally make a change

I can’t wait til I’m older

To hope I feel a different way

I wish that I could start over

But that’s just part of the game

You can never start over

You just have to keep playing.
