The phone rang, hadn't moved in days. Seems to me the strangest thing.
Heard an old familiar tone, confident and calm it ushered my next move.
Said, "Don't delay, you cannot wait,
this modern world ain't handing out a second plate.
Just pass the shame, you'll be just fine."
Said, "These years are hard, this statement tired. Promise me you'll never let that douse this fire."
Well, life's been getting in the way of living.
I stood beside myself. Analyzed the moves that I made just this week.
Was it enough to make you smile, or flash that look that set me in my ways?
Cause this can't make sense, am I that dense?
Refuse to think of you outside the present tense.
Sometimes confusion and anger collide.
Said, "This world is hard and unforgiving. Just don't let that drop a bomb on all your modern living."
Woah, walking down this empty road.
Imagine life without all the setbacks.
Breathing in menthol, gonna carve this earth until the wheels fall off.
Imagine life without all the setbacks, forget all the setbacks.
Setbacks, I can't take that.
