Life Don't Wait Lyrics & video

Intro

Yeah
Funny how life moves
One minute you’re chasing tomorrow
Next minute you’re missing yesterday

Verse 1

I learned young, life don’t come with a map,
You lose a few people, then you never go back,
Some dreams get buried, some scars stay deep,
Some nights you smile when you really can’t sleep.

I’ve seen love turn cold, seen friends disappear,
Seen a strong man break when nobody was near,
Everybody got pain they don’t put on display,
Everybody got something they’re trying to escape.

I made bad choices, I’ve taken wrong roads,
Carried too much that I never let go,
But every hard fall put some strength in my bones,
Had to lose who I was just to find my way home.

Verse 2

Money comes, money goes, people change with it,
Some chase a name and forget why they came with it,
We spend our whole lives trying to look successful,
While fighting quiet battles that nobody mentions.

Mama getting older, kids growing fast,
One day you look up and your whole life passed,
That’s why I call when I can, say the words while they hear ’em,
Give flowers right now, don’t wait till you’re near ’em.

I used to think winning meant being on top,
Now I know peace means knowing when to stop,
Having somebody real when the whole world leaves,
And waking up thankful just because you can breathe.

Bridge

So if you love somebody, tell ’em tonight,
If you got a dream, then give it a fight,
If you fell down hard, get back on your feet,
Sometimes losing the road is how you find what you need.

Verse 3

I don’t need a perfect life, just a meaningful one,
A few real people and some work getting done,
I want laughs at the table, peace in my chest,
And to know when it’s over that I gave it my best.

’Cause time is a thief and it moves real quiet,
We keep saying “one day” till one day gets denied,
So I’m done waiting around for the perfect time,
I’m taking these broken pieces and calling them mine.

Every mistake taught lessons I couldn’t buy,
Every goodbye taught me nothing survives,
But as long as I’m here, I’m still writing the page,
Still becoming the man that I wanted with age.

Outro

Yeah
Life don’t wait
So don’t you either
