Cashing Your Reality Check

I'd like to say that everything will be alright

But I'm just not in the habit of telling lies

The world is gonna kick you while you're down

But you can't spend the rest of your life on the ground

I bet think that you're invincible

And the world revolves around you

But the harsh truth is nobody owes you a damn thing

You're stuck with the life you choose

You're on your own but you don't know it yet

Out here alone in the wilderness

Nobody's gonna give you what you want

You've gotta grab your chance and hold on

I wouldn't wish this uncertainty on my worst enemy

But it's a part of growing up

And just because you're afraid of change

It doesn't change the fact that things will never be the same again

So go on pretending that your youth isn't ending

You can lie to yourself but you can't blame your fate on anybody else

You're on your own but you don't know it yet

Out here alone in the wilderness

Nobody's gonna give you what you want

You've gotta grab your chance and hold on

You're running out of second chances

And second guessing everything you do

But while you're wallowing in self-pity

The world keeps spinning

It's not waiting around for you

Time to face the future

Time to face reality

Time to wake up

You're on your own but you don't know it yet

Out here alone in the wilderness

Nobody's gonna give you what you want

You've gotta grab your chance and hold on

You're running out of second chances

And second guessing everything you do

But while you're wallowing in self-pity

The world keeps spinning

It's not waiting around for you

The world won't wait for you
