Some nights I lay in bed
Burning holes in the ceiling
Wondering where the time has gone
Looking back on the past
And too far in the future
Never knowing quite where I belong
Talking to myself
A never ending conversation
Asking myself what went wrong
And as I sit there in the dark
I convince myself again
That I'll be there before too long
Don't let your life go
Don't let it slip away
Don't live week by week
You need to live day by day
And always remember
To never lose sight
Of those dreams that you dreamt
When you were a kid every night
How far you'll go
Will never depend
On how far that you've come
'Cuz life Is not a means to an end
Every now and then I wonder
If I'm the only one who's lost
Or if there's others just like me
Cuz it seems like everyone I meet
Has got their plans all figured out
And know exactly who they want to be
I took a good look at myself
In the mirror on the wall
And I couldn't even bear to see
All the mistakes looking back
At all the things that ever I wanted
Were not the things I really need
Don't let your life go
Don't let it slip away
Don't live week by week
You need to live day by day
And always remember
To never lose sight
Of those dreams that you dreamt
When you were a kid every night
How far you'll go
Will never depend
On how far that you've come
'Cuz life Is not a means to an end
Don't let your life go
Don't let it slip away
Don't live week by week
You need to live day by day
And always remember
To never lose sight
Of those dreams that you dreamt
When you were a kid every night
How far you'll go
Will never depend
On how far that you've come
'Cuz life Is not a means to an end
