My eyes can't believe what they have seen.
In the corner of your room you've stockpiled millions of my memories.
Oh doctor, doctor, i must have gotten this sick somehow.
I'm going to ask you a series of questions,
And i want them answered on the spot, right now.
Is it serious?
I'm afraid it is.
Am i gonna die?
Well son, death is gonna catch up to all one day,
But yours is coming quicker than ours, than ours.
Some things i may have taken for granted again and again,
Well here's what was said then
Hold your head high heavy heart.
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it's the last you'll ever get.
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And i've been planning something big, planning something big, planning.
I've never tried to make the best of my time,
When i thought that i had plenty of it.
Is this serious?
I don't know what to think.
Is it all a lie?
Well one thing is for sure
I'm taken back to the glory days
When we were kids without a brash or bitter thing to say.
Now my life is one big make it, or break it.
Hold your head high heavy heart
Save your strength for the morning after.
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it's the last you'll ever get.
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And i've been planning something big, planning something big
So take a chance and make it big,
Cause it's the last you'll ever get.
If we don't take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And i've been planning something big, planning something big, planning.
