Already happening
I spent my whole life telling
myself when
When I grow up
When I finally become someone
When I finally make it out
Every tomorrow looked like a door
Every today felt temporary Like I
was only passing through Like the
real thing
was waiting somewhere ahead
I never noticed time leaving traces
behind Was always looking past today
Not knowing today was already slipping
through my hands
I kept waiting for the moment
I thought I'd know when it
arrived I never stopped asking "Isn't
this what it feels like?"
Even if I knew then what
I know now I'd still walk
every mile,
I'd still carry every pain Still
fall, still love,
still laugh,
still break and change
I wouldn't back down I'd just
stop asking life to wait for
me 'Cause all those times I
spent finding the moment Everything started
already happening
I thought I'd feel different when
I finally got there I believed
I'd get there someday
I thought the noise would finally
fade away But life was happening
without me knowing And the days
that felt too ordinary to remember
I kept chasing what I thought
I needed Never realizing I was
already holding everything I wished for
They won't tell you the day
you'll end up missing the most
'Cause they never introduce themselves
Even if I knew then what
I know now I'd still walk
every mile, I'd still carry every
pain Still fall,
still love,
still laugh,
still break and change
I wouldn't back down I'd just
stop asking life to wait for
me 'Cause all those times I
spent finding the moment Everything started
already happening
Listen
You don't have to be another
version of yourself You don't need
to wait for permission You don't
need to become the best before
you start living
There isn't a magical point where
life suddenly becomes real
This is the part you'll spend
the rest of your life
trying to remember
If I had known then what
I know now I wouldn't have
held tomorrow so high,
forgetting today
I wouldn't have given up so
early
Every day wasn't perfect because I
never asked it to be I
kept waiting for it to happen
Not knowing it was already happening
So the life I spent my
whole life waiting to start
Had already begun
And I was there
when it did
