Not There Yet

I don't wanna work anymore
I just wanna live instead
Everyone is saying I'm all grown up
I've come a long way but I'm not there yet
Where did the summer go
I was just hitting my stride
It's this insanity
Takes me along for the ride
And I swam the oceans and the seven seas
Knowing that fate would strike eventually
You gotta hit rock bottom if you wanna come out on top
Where did the winter go
I just got used to the cold
And it’s this maturity
Keeps me from getting too old
And I saw a snow fall on a thousand towns
With a sense of purpose I had just then found
You gotta run real far before you ever feel close to home
You know I'm not there yet
Been working myself into a lonely state
You know I'm not there yet
Been breaking my back to find another way
And it's been a long time coming
I deserve to take a holiday
