You can call it anything you want the fact remains the same
|
I never got to be your Fred Astaire
|
You can lie to yourself and all your friends and pretend that you don't care
|
But circumstance gets in the way
|
You have so many opportunities I never had
|
Don't push so hard, nothing is ever easy
|
And this talent that you take for granted, it's a gift from god
|
Don't pass it up, nothing is ever easy
|
Are you ready to work real hard
|
Are you tired it's just the start
|
Listen to me son, I'll take you far
|
You can call it anything you want the fact remains the same
|
I never got to be your Fred Astaire
|
You can lie to yourself and all your friends and pretend that you don't care
|
But circumstance gets in the way
|
Heel, toe, heel, toe, side to side AGAIN, gonna get it right
|
Don't push so hard, nothing is ever easy
|
Don't forget your please and thank you's, don't forget to smile
|
Don't pass this up, nothing is ever easy
|
Their pushing these children for all the wrong reasons
|
So far man you're crushing down their spirits
|
Suffocate, emancipate, turn their backs and walk away eventually
|
Seeking, one of these paths
|
You're wasting time --- I call it living
|
To the world what are you giving
|
You're wasting time?
