Potential Lyrics by Rival Town

Deadlines & Milestones

0

I found a photograph buried in my wallet
I forgot I had, you wrote something on it
Scribbled on the back, it was addressed to me
It said “Go out, do great things cause we know you deserve this
You’re still so young, theres no need to be nervous
Don’t sit back and wait for it to come”

I wish I had seen this the day I left home
Things might be different if I reach for it all

It comes and goes so quickly
No time to stop and stare
I know it's always been my choice
But I don't want to be a disappointment

I put so much stock in the things that you told me
The lessons you gave, it felt so controlling
Wish I listened now, oh God I wish I had more time
The point of conclusions that I thought I knew better
Am I wasting my twenties, afraid that I’ll never
Live up to what’s expected of me

I wish I had seen this the day I left home
I don't think it would've made a difference at all

It comes and goes so quickly
No time to stop and stare
I know it's always been my choice
But I don't want to be a disappointment

It came and went so quickly
I stared for far too long
I know it's always been my choice
But I don't want to be
(I found a photograph buried in my wallet)
It goes so fucking quickly
(I forgot I had, you wrote something on it)
I wish I could keep up
(I found a photograph buried in my wallet)
I know it's always been my choice
(I forgot I had, you wrote something on it)
But I don't want to be a disappointment
