Did You...

[Verse 1]
Did you ever see your life mapped out differently?
The plans that you made faded away
Did you read the books and take all the steps you could
And hope that one day you'd be carried away?

[Chorus]
Did you set aside things you love in life
To do what you're supposed to do?
Did you find it hard to answer the things they ask
Like, "What are you going to do?"
"Where will your life take you?"

[Post–Chorus]
Well, it's been a while
And I think it's time
I knew

[Verse 2]
Did you ever tire of hearing about the child
That already knows what he'll be when he grows?
And you set your sights on things that you think you'll like
And it's taken this long to know that you were wrong

[Chorus 2]
Did you set aside things you love in life
To do what you're supposed to do?
Did you find it hard to answer the things they ask
Like, "What are you going to do?"
"Where will your life take you?"

[Post–Chorus]
Well, it's been a while
And I think it's time
I knew

[Bridge]
It's getting hard to justify
The time I spend on trying to find
The perfect route to end this song
The only words that will belong

And maybe there's a price to pay
Of trying to live the perfect way
And holding onto dreams I have
Knowing that because of that

[Outro]
It's been a while
And I think it's time
I knew
