We Can't Afford

The bright lights shaded by and existence thats slowly 
fading
And I am, forced to reflect on who I am and what I've done
21 and fearing things to come and where I'm gonna be and 
will I find someone
I could be gone when the sun goes down
and yet I'm walking around staring at the ground

Time passes by so fast, I need some time to stop and think 
about it
I wonder where I'll be in a couple years and if I'm still 
alive, Am I living my life

And after all is said and done, I look back at what i've 
become
And I am, honestly questioning if my time was well spent
Ready, set, no wait not ready to go, I have a good excuse I
 had some things to do
Another year and I've forgotten the fear that this might be
 the day that I'll be taken away

Sometimes I feel like I'm a day away,
just a day away from everything I want to be
Tomorrow comes and I realize I'm where I was just a day ago
 tonight

Tonight, tonight I'll live my life
