Not Ready

Look at this life whats the worst that can happen
We're just 2 kids tryin to make it and we're laughin
At ourselves every step of the way
Cause whats the point of living without a smile on your face

Look at this life whats the worst that can happen
We take 2 steps our youthfulness lags
But we keep out faith
I feel it stray
As she tells me something that I wish I could change

She's leaving me for California
She told me that she loves me so but she needs to go chase a dream
She knows I'm married to the stage and the east coast is where I stay
She said we'd meet up again downstream
I said you've been living on my sideline a little too long
I loved the support I'll be fine on my own
I always wondered when you'd finally go
If this is what you really need
Then go don’t need no permission from me
We could exchange mementos
But I'll just give you my heart and my sorry advice

Use up everyday… don’t fall into stubborn ways
Don't mix dreams with doubt… and don’t let bastards bring you down

You’re the only thing that’s ever happen to me
I'm the thing that happened to you

So give it up, give it up, give it up please
My minds not ready
Give it up, give it up, give it up please
I'm really not ready

And I watched as you turned away
Said there's nothing wrong I see there's something wrong
You don’t know what you're saying
Always paid close attention to mine
So go on go ahead and show the world your own dream
And get in line
Cause everybody wants to prove what they really meant to do
Get caught chasing a constant desire
And when you feel it slip away
When doubt is filling you faith
Just remember I'm at your side

So use up everyday… don’t fall into stubborn ways
Chase your dreams that’s fine… but don't leave everything behind

You’re the only thing that’s ever happen to me
I'm the thing that happened to you

I've turned into a scientist
Just to study the reasons I need your kiss
It isn’t the feel or the chemicals
Its not the way you dress or some freak magnetic pull
It’s the way that you tease me
Still feel your presence after you leave
The way you look at me like there's something worth it in this heap of dreams
I never really thought it'd ever come to this
I use to look for the back hand in the warmest kiss
Then you came - never gave my doubt the room
You stole it away now its ruining you

You’re the only thing that’s ever happen to me
I'm the thing that happened to you
