[Verse 1]
I'm a work in progress, I'm a mess, I confess
That I don't have a clue what I'm supposed to do
Should I cut my losses? I could head back to school
Get a high-paying job, maybe a room with a view of a skyline
Since I never really learned how to fly
Though I've been staring at it my whole life
Steady believing that someday I will find
What's caused me to lie wide awake at night

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll take this day by day
If you just give me some space

[Chorus]
Tonight, I'll dance around the room in spite
Of this overwhelming feeling like I'm losing more precious time

[Verse 2]
I'm a work in progress, I'm a mess, I confess
That I don't have a clue what I'm supposed to do
Should I back up this dream that I've been running on fumes?
Twenty-five states away sending out IOUs
To my parents; you know someday I'll give them all they deserve
More than just lyrics though, I meant every word
Until then, I guess it's back to rehearse
Check the stage, lose myself, kill the verse

[Pre-Chorus]
I'll take this day by day
If you just give me some space

[Chorus]
Tonight, I'll dance around the room in spite
Of this overwhelming feeling like I'm losing more precious time
I'm not trying to change the world
Though I'd settle for mine
Instead of feeling like I'm wasting more precious time

[Bridge]
I'll take this day by day
If you just give me some space
I'll take this day by day
(Since I never really learned how to fly)
If you just give me some space
[Chorus]
Tonight, I'll dance around the room in spite
Of this overwhelming feeling like I'm losing more precious time
I'm not trying to change the world
Though I'd settle for mine
Instead of feeling like I'm losing more precious time

[Outro]
Instead of feeling like I'm wasting this goddamn life
