Looking Forward

Sometimes I can’t believe
I have a future looking forward
Sometimes I feel
Like I can’t compete in this challenge

My mind stretched
In different directions
From where I stand
And where I wanna be
Where am I supposed to be?

Most days
My mind stays blank
Every day’s a clean slate
But if I stop to think
About what this future brings…

Convention says we’re supposed to know
Exactly where we’re going
And where we wanna go
Those like me
We’ve got no plans
Livin’ day to day
With a hand we’ve been dealt
Now for some that’s hell
But I guess we might as well

We spend days and nights
Chasing our lives
In unfamiliar highs and dries
Don’t ask me who I am today
Don’t ask me where I am
‘Cause every day’s a different line
And I’m tellin’ ‘em like lies.
