I've packed my bag a hundred times
Never sure I'm in the right place
I look at the world and I don't get used to it
Vile and sublime at once
I ask myself a thousand questions a day
I'm a third of the way
We wanna leave a mark on history
Devour the world, haunt memories
The ego strays, so we fall
From young and docile, we end up fossils
Is thinking about tomorrow useful
I'm ready to fight another thousand years
And I'll do it for my kids
I used to never be scared
Then I became a parent
Not for mine but for theirs
Not the ties but the worst
Seas rise, flowers fade
The elders teach us
The kids p*ss them off
And none of that'll change
The student's done, the dreams are done
You who've lived a thousand lives
What d'you say?
Is life lived up in Paradise
Now, but not later
Cherish the moment, sweep the past away
Some wanna grow old
That's a mistake, you gotta live better
Now, but not later
Cherish people, sweep regrets away
Some wanna grow old
Me, I don't have the time
I've packed my bag a hundred times
One day they'll do it for me
But that'll be the last time
I never think about it, yet I should
Yet I know I'm gonna cry
If I've lived nothing by then
Let me be forgiven
Throw me away if I rejected
What's the point of the power of words
If it doesn't serve the duty to love
To keep the rush of my youth
To keep my heart lit
It's now, not later
Cherish the moment, sweep the past away
Some wanna grow old
That's a mistake, you gotta live better
Now, but not later
Cherish people, sweep regrets away
Some wanna grow old
Me, I don't have the time
Some wanna grow old
