Saturday

Saturday
Rest can wait
I got a list a million letters long
Nothing planned till I reach the end

No reward
I can’t afford
To indulge in pleasures till this list is gone
Reverie won’t get the best of me

And I try, I try, I try
But I just can’t get it right
Am I the only one?

Yeah I try, I try, I try oh
Yet the end is not in sight
In sight

What’s it like
To close your eyes
Without time bombs ticking off inside your head?
Lay me down–and I get stressed out

And I try, I try, I try
But I just can’t get it right
Am I the only one?
Yeah I try, I try, I try oh
Yet the end is not in sight
In sight

Every day goes by
And I find another line below
And I ask myself
Is this what it is to be full-grown?

Measure life by lines
And you’ll never find the time to go slow
In the afterlife, will I make some time?
Will I learn to let it go?

And I try, I try, I try
But I just can’t get it right
Am I the only one?
Yeah I try, I try, I try oh
Yet the end is not in sight
No it’s not in sight

And I try, I try, I try
But I just can’t get it right
Am I the only one?
Oh no no no
Yeah I try, I try, I try oh
Yet the end is not in sight
In sight

Oh no no no
