“Confetti” is one of six songs on Handmade Songs by Tori Kelly. As she starts becoming famous, Tori reminds herself to not get lost in her dreams, to always enjoy the moment she is living in, and always be grateful for what she has.
[Verse 1: Tori Kelly]
I gotta keep myself in check sometimes
Cause' I tend to dream real big sometimes
The fancy outfits and the sparkly awards
My name in lights, the people lined up at the doors
But I gotta remember to take it one step at a time
[Hook: Tori Kelly]
Cause people seem to think
That you'll be happier, once you reach the top
You'll have it all
But I'm living for right now
Cause what if tomorrow never comes
I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting
For the confetti to fall, yeah
[Verse 2: Tori Kelly]
I can't just sit around and wait for my life to start
I can make a difference, put a little happiness in someone's heart
The fancy cars, the glitter and the fame
It's all nice, but it won't be worth a thing
Love is bigger, so I'm a stand up for love, yeah
[Hook: Tori Kelly]
People seem to think
That you'll be happier, once you reach the top (once you reach the top)
You'll have it all
But I'm living for right now
Cause what if tomorrow never comes
I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting
For the confetti to fall
For
[Verse 2: Tori Kelly]
If there was a rope stretching up to the sky
With all of my dreams at the very top, so high
I get so caught up in everything around me, moving quickly
I forget to cherish every single moment I receive ohh
I forget about the climb, I just wanna get there
Don't wanna wait in line, even though it's so clear
That I'm called to use patience on this journey that I'm on
I know that I'll come out alive and it'll only make me strong
While everybody's focused on the hype
I'll be wondering why we seem to think
You'll be happier, once you reach the top
You'll have it all
I'm living for right now
Cause what if tomorrow never comes
I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting, no
[Hook: Tori Kelly]
People seem to think
That you'll be happier, once you reach the top (once you reach the top)
You'll have it all
But I'm living for right now
Cause what if tomorrow never comes
I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting
For the confetti to fall
I'm not waiting to be happy
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Yeah, no, yeah

When introducing the song for her 2016 Unbreakable Tour, she said:
I think so often we think like so far into the future as if like that’s—ah that’s when it’ll matter. Like if I can just get that or if that could just happen to me, then you know, then I’ll be worth something. And um I just, I just...
