We Are The Movies - Get Busy Living or Get Busy Dying Songtexte

How many seconds have I
Wasted up in my head?
Too many questions with
Clear answers that were never said.
Sinking deeper,
Overcome by the pressure
Of making dreams reality
And holding them together.
This fear of failure
A waste of potential,
And plans without effort
Are inconsequential.
These feet in my shoes
Still have room left to grow.
So I'd better start walking
'Cause now I know that
Time is too precious
No sense in denying
Existing is easy,
But barely surviving.
I'm sick of excuses,
So finally I'm trying
To get busy living or get busy dying.
Get busy living or get busy dying.
Moving forward is an
Exercise in patience,
When pain from healing wounds
Has become an old acquaintance.
To build momentum is to
Learn from the past,
And work through the memories
Holding me back.
I cling to the fear
I was taught to preserve
And accepted the treatment
I thought I deserved.
But these steps in my progress
Are beginning to show.
I see light in the distance,
And now I know that
(Now I know that)

Time is too precious
No sense in denying
Existing is easy,
But barely surviving.
I'm sick of excuses,
So finally I'm trying
To get busy living or get busy dying.
I know the path is long
To get this life right.
I can't ignore it now
No more fight-or-flight.
Commit to finishing
What I started
So here I go again,
And now I know that
Time is too precious
No sense in denying
Existing is easy,
But barely surviving.
I'm sick of excuses,
So finally I'm trying
To get busy living or get busy dying.
Get busy living or get busy dying.
