You wanted that fast life
No frills till the back nine
Didn't take too long
But knew all along
One day you'd get there
So glad you could make it
But tell me what went wrong
Did you think about what's
On the other side
I used to be so damn old
Never been this young before
When I feared what I'm afraid of
Starring it right in the face
The next few year till the grave
Or in other words, twenty-four
Who knew the dark and scary
Would be so ordinary?
Who knew the dark and scary
Would be so ordinary?
You want that freedom
Weekdays like the weekend
Won't breathe the finish line
Though it's only forty meters
But life's a marathon race
And you can't see the leader
Oh, and by the way
You just can't brake that ball and chain
It's keep you afloat
Should've took some time
Before the gun's smoke
So just keep your head down
Keep both your feet on the ground
Run with people around
Feel better now?
Who knew the dark and scary
Would be so ordinary?
Who knew the dark and scary
Would be so ordinary?
It just might a take while life
Before you take bowel
Who knew the dark and scary
Would be so ordinary?
So good luck, kid
I hope you see it was worth it
Who knew the dark and scary
Would be so ordinary?
