lyrics

I have an idea
and it could be cool to do
I just need to follow through
which makes me kinda nervous
I have an idea
but I haven't yet begun
I can't seem to start step one
do I even deserve it

Can I make myself begin a task?
Can I make my motivation last?
I would like to leave a mark
but I never seem to start

Because all I seem to do is make a plan
all I seem to do is make a plan, again
all I seem to do is make a plan, again and again and again and again

I have an idea
that I want to realize
I see it when I close my eyes
but when they open, I'm distracted
I have an idea
and I don't want to forget
or be buried in regret
I want to say I acted

Can I start the journey with a step?
Can I make up for the years I've slept?
I think it could be great
but scheduled at a later date

Chorus

I'm in no position to complain
I've got loads of time and more than enough space
I am so afraid I'll never finish
what a waste
but I'd still choose the list before I'd choose to leave it blank

Because I have an idea
so I add it to the list
another plan, another wish
but my life gets in the way
I have an idea
and it's one of a thousand and five
I'd like to do while I'm still alive
but I'm scared to do today

I may as well be stuck in solid ice
frozen, I don't take my own advice
I keep writing down 'begin'
filling pages to the brim
