Someday Syndrome

I kept my eyes on the skyline Waiting for something that never came They said "hold on, it gets better" But every day just felt the same I missed the sun on the pavement The warmth of your hand in mine Chasing a life i hadn’t lived yet Letting this one pass me by And i swore i’d start living Once the stars aligned But they never did And i lost so much time I was always chasing someday A dream i could never define Now the moments are ghosts in the hallway And i’m haunted by all i left behind I had love, i had light, i had meaning But i blinked and it all slipped away I was waiting for something worth keeping But i buried it day after day I drew maps in the margins Planned escapes i’d never take Ignored the beauty in the silence Let joy fade like smoke in my wake You begged me to see what we had here But i looked right through your eyes Now your voice is an echo A song lost in time Why do we only mourn what we missed Why do we run from the life that exists I held forever in the palm of my hand And i traded it for “then” I was always chasing someday But i never stopped to breathe And now the world feels like a memory Of a life i forgot to believe I had love, i had time, i had meaning But i let it all wither away I was waiting for something worth feeling While everything real slipped away So if you’re listening — don’t wait Don’t wait The moment is fading Don't let it escape
