On Track Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I close my front door and turn on the light
I let out a breath and hold in a sigh
Ain't nothin' new, ain't that much in sight
And if I'm counting days, dream fruition ain't what it's looking like

[Chorus]
But strictly speaking, I'm still on track
Strictly speaking, I'm holding on
More than a minor setback
But strictly speaking, I'm still on track
And all of my dreams are still in sight
'Cause strictly speaking, I've got my whole life
I lost a wheel a while back
But strictly speaking, I'm still on track
Challenges falling in my lap
Strung out again, but still on track

[Verse 2]
I know it's unrealistic, over-optimistic
I know I tried before this, I know it's nearly August
I know I can't ignore this, looking forward to all this
Sayin', "Babe, I just adore this" and, "Babe, can we afford this?"
I know it's been a slow year, nothin' much to show here
I didn't really go for it, so not a lot to show for it

[Refrain]
The hardest part is over, adjusting makes it slower
So glad you're comin' over, a wall to bring us closer
The world ain't waitin' for ya, nothin' to lose it over
We're just a little older, the rest comes easy
The rest comes easy

[Chorus]
('Cause life's like that)
But strictly speaking, I'm still on track
Strictly speaking, I'm holding back
Troubles keep falling in my lap
Yeah, but strictly speaking, I'm still on track
So tell everyone I'll be alright
'Cause strictly speaking, I've got my whole life
More than one major setback
But strictly speaking, I'm still on track (Yeah)

[Refrain]
The hardest part is over, adjusting makes it slower (Ooh)
So glad you're comin' over, a wall to bring us closer (Still on track, motherfucker)
The world ain't waitin' for ya, nothin' to lose it over
We're just a little older, the rest gets easy
The rest gets easy

A song for the eternal optimist. The pain of holding on to your dreams. Anyone would say it’s impossible from this point. True it will take a miracle, but miracles happen all the time. I’m veering all over the road and occasionally spinning out of control, but strictly speaking I’m still on track.
