The Difference Between
Navigating Change: Reflections on Time, Questions, and Differences
Lyrics
The longer I wait
The more I delay
Little things start magnify
Small issues begin to amplify
But what's to expect
But what can be anticipated
When I don't act for quite some time
When I procrastinate for an extended period
It's only the same
Things remain unchanged
Despite all our change
Despite the transformations we undergo
Waking up in the same place
Waking up in familiar surroundings
Feels like its been 40 years straight
Feels like an unbroken 40-year span
It's the difference between
The distinguishing factor between
You and me that's got me worried about these things
You and me causes concern about these matters
And I'm laying in bed right here 'til I fall asleep
Lying in bed until I fall asleep
And it's too much work to wake me from this dream
It requires too much effort to awaken me from this dream
I keep asking questions
I keep posing queries
I fear the answers
I'm anxious about the responses
And I've been looking for a way around all this
I've been searching for a way to bypass all of this
A diamond in the rough
A valuable discovery amidst challenges
And I could ask you how you feel about all this
I could inquire about your feelings regarding all of this
I know that you've had enough
I understand that you've reached a limit
And we could just go on and on about all this
We could endlessly discuss all of this
It's something we've waited for
It's something we've been anticipating
And we could look for a silver lining
We could search for a positive aspect
Just before we find the door
Right before we locate the exit
Become good at putting things off
Becoming adept at delaying tasks
Been doing it for all my life
I've been doing it throughout my life
Keep telling myself
Continuously telling myself
I need to wait for the perfect time
I must wait for the perfect moment
But now I've run out of things
Now I've exhausted my excuses
To convince my self that i could use the extra week
To convince myself that I could use an additional week
Won't stop asking questions
I won't cease questioning
But I fear the answer
But I'm afraid of the answers
And if you need a reminder
If you need a reminder
I've been growing tired
I've become weary
Like you said I should
As you suggested I would
Change comes so often now
Change occurs frequently now
I'm looking out for it
I'm actively looking out for it
Like you said I would
As you mentioned I should
