[Verse 1]
Pictures of places
Memories of faces lost on me
I see you runnin', and I wonder how long
'Til you find your feet
I think you know what I'm thinking
I know you feel it, too
All the pressure in that moment
When you have to choose

[Chorus]
Well, you can bide your time for the rest of your life
Keep your options open so you don't have to decide
Are you waiting for excuses to materialize?
Or is it fear of failure?

[Verse 2]
Everyone changes
Workin' our way through these fallen leaves
But while the branches are breakin'
You can't help mistakin' the forest for the trees
I know there's no one right decision
But you just can't go on stumblin' blind

[Chorus]
Well, you can bide your time for the rest of your life
Keep your options open so you don't have to decide
Are you waiting for excuses to materialize?
Or is it fear of failure?
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
So you keep treading the same ground
Forgetting that you found
The faith you need
You say your future's in limbo

[Bridge]
With your head in the cloud
Don't look down
I am holding you up
With my feet on the ground
We can make sense of the pictures, places
Memories, faces that we lost on the way

[Chorus]
Or you can bide your time for the rest of your life
Keep your options open so you don't have to decide
Are you waiting for excuses to materialize?
Or you can bide your time for the rest of your life
Keep your options open so you don't have to decide
Are you waiting for excuses to materialize?
Or is it fear of failure?
Or is it fear of failure?
