Your life is a narrative that's already written
You've been living it each day
Never making your own decisions
You're not the one who has a say
You worked for years just to make money
And you woke up yesterday asking "Why?"
'Cause you live in a big house with nobody
And it makes you feel so alone that you could die
'Cause you followed directions
And got nowhere
You can't turn around
And now you're scared
Yeah you followed the crowd and now they've
Gone away
And left you feeling
Out of place
Now you're lying awake and crying
About the dreams you sacrificed
Well I'm thanking god I've got this guitar
To remind me
That I just want to play some songs before I die
Yeah I just wanna play
I just wanna play
I just wanna play some songs before I die
