lyrics

After a While
After a while, you have to color in your own skies of blue
After a while, your friends are gonna feel unattended to

After a while, the reigns are under your control
If you don't pull your own weight, you're like a domino
Knocking down your closest crown and jewels like a fool

After a while, the doctor reads the chart and says, "There's never gonna be a better time to start"
After a while, you should chuck out the board and become the dart
After a while, you have to come to grips with what you are and what thou art

We used to say, "Everything is okay"
But now time is short, and you have to report
What will your ending be? And will there be a plot?
Where do you spend your energy? Yeah, it's worth a thought or two

After a while, you start to zone out on the novelties
After a while, it's harder to get some real travel ZZZs
After a while, embracing the new feels like work
After a while, you can't see the smiles through the smirks

After a while, the reigns are under your control
There's enough free will in fate, don't you know?
So if you don't pull your own weight, you're like a domino
Knocking down your closest crown and jewels like a fool
