Used to be

You used to be good at life
but somewhere it went wrong
You used to be fearless
now you’re not even brave
You used to think about the future
now you just dream about the past

It can take one day
one moment-to question your life;
one day
one moment-vs. a whole life;
is that right?

You used to move at the speed of light
now you can barely break the sound barrier
You used to be in high gear
now you’re riding fixed
You used to have a buzz
but now it's fizzled out

One day to reflect on and think
as you lie in bed at night
or as you walk along the frost bitten platforms edge,
‘I hate my life’

Snap

You used to be on fire
now you’re all charred out
You used to listen to the music life was playing and shout ‘turn it up’;
now you quietly whisper
‘switch it off’

You used to constantly feel on the edge of a sneeze about to let loose
now you feel like you’ve just let it blow on a train full of passengers and didn't even cover your mouth

You can slow down
you can go slow
you can even jump off and walk;
just don’t stop
and lose all that momentum

Snap

Momentum is what pushes us forward
keeps us going
gives us a quick
smooth ride;
just don’t stop
never stop

We spend half our lives sleeping
a quarter waiting
and a quarter wishing
You wish you were sad about your life so you could snap out of this
but you’re not

It can take one moment
one burst
to think-‘I love my life’
And it just happened now
thank God!
