LYRICS:
The whispers tell me I don’t count
That I don’t know what I’m about
Months will pass and I’ll be standing still
My logic brain says I have time
The clock will click, don’t lose your mind
But I do mind the buckets left unfilled

Do I miss the terror
Of my trial and error
Do I miss the thrill
Of reaching like I’m falling
And hearkening my calling
By saying “yes, I will”

Another whisper says to dare
It’s only worth it when you’re scared
I’m scared the wishing well is running dry

And if I fly then will I land
If I don’t try, how can I stand
To stare myself in the eye?

Do I miss the terror
Of my trial and error
Do I miss the thrill
Of reaching like I’m falling
And hearkening my calling
By saying “yes, I will”

Can it wait another minute
If you run it, you can win it
Can it wait another minute
If you want it, then begin it

Do I miss the terror
Of my trial and error
Do I miss the thrill
Of reaching like I’m falling
And hearkening my calling
By saying “yes, I will” (2x)

By saying “yes, I…”
By saying “yes, I will”
