[Verse 1]
If I have to be honest
I know that something's wrong
Am I the only person who can notice what's going on?
I think it's because we think we can have what we want
In a snap of a finger
Well, I'm telling you now
It's not that easy

[Chorus]
In a few years
I gotta be this and that
In a few months
I have to be there like that
In a few weeks
I should've been where the pressure's led me to
Why does it always have to be?
A question of what's next for you and me
Why does it havе to feel like
I'm running out of time

[Verse 2]
Do this, do that
To get whеre you wanna be at
Be this, be that
Until when should I hear all that?
This generation can be patient and be kind
I know there's rules in life
And I'll figure it out
[Chorus]
In a few years
I gotta be this and that
In a few months
I have to be there like that
In a few weeks
I should've been where the pressure's led me to
Why does it always have to be?
A question of what's next for you and me
Why does it have to feel like
I'm running out of time

[Outro]
To be who I wanna be
Feels like I'm running out of time
Does it always have to be what's next for me?
Why does it have to feel like
I'm running out of time?
Why can't we just live life and take our time?
