i'm walking down the same street
and i'm still the same old me
smiling like i've got an inside joke
with everyone i see
i've got everything at my fingertips
but not close enough to touch
and i'll wonder if i was wrong
to leave it up to luck
i couldn't tell you where i'll be tomorrow,
or let alone next year
and i'm torn between high and low,
all excitement and fear
because i never wanted to live forever
i'm all about right now
and everything i do runs counter
to who i am and i wonder how
i made it so far down this road
with just so little time
and all's well that ends well
i just wish that it was mine
i'm walking down the same street
and i'm still the same old me
admiring the misery
in everything i see
i've got sympathy on one hand
and contempt is at a loss
but there's a fine line between the two
that i'm just about to cross
i couldn't tell you where i'll be tomorrow,
or let alone next year
and i'm torn between high and low,
tortured by my fears
because i never wanted to live forever
i'm all about right now
and everything i do runs counter
to who i am and i wonder how
i made it so far down this road
with just so little time
and all's well that ends well
