Not Quite Yet
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Oh, once the lights go down I will
wipe this frown of my face
And once this race is run
Oh, I'll seize the day
yeah I'll hit the highway
But no, not quite yet
I'm still walking too fast
trying to hard to
carry this weight on my back, on my own
Oh, once this night is trough I will
quit drinking, how I wish I could...
And once we're out of here
Oh, I'll disappear without a trace
But no, not quite yet
See, I'm still walking to fast
trying to hard to
carry this weight on my back, on my own
No, not quite yet
I'm still walking too fast
trying to hard to
carry this weight on my back, on my own
No, not quite yet
I'm still walking too fast
trying to hard to
carry this weight on my back, on my own
on my own
on my own, oh
No, not quite yet
I'm still walking too fast
trying to hard to
carry this weight on my back, on my own
No, not quite yet
I'm still walking too fast
trying to hard to
carry this weight on my back, on my own
on my own
