Paradise Fears - What Are You Waiting For? lyrics

I think I'm going broke, from paying my dues I've been tossed and turned, and left black and blue, I've been faced with decisions where I had to choose, It's either one you win, one you lose These times get you so damn mad Gotta roll with the punches, smile with the sad Tell myself that when I finally look back I'll think, Oh my god what a life I've had We're alive We're alive What are you waiting for? We're alive We're alive What are you waiting for? I remember when my Dad told me he thought I could make it, This world is only there for those willing to take it Now I'll stop at nothing, no matter the cost I'll feel a thousand loves, I'll feel a thousand loss There's a world that I've heard of, I'm planning to see it, I can be anything if I only believe it Tell myself that when I finally look back I'll think, Oh my god what a life I've had They say there's heaven if you wait, I think I'm living right through it You wanna live forever, huht? then just do it They say it's a long road, but lately I don't know If this life I'm living is all that I'm meant for So I'mma live my life by my Mom's little advice She said "you love it? Embrace it. You want it? Then chase it."
