Lately
Everybody in my life has been changing
Am I the only one that's still star gazing
Is this what it means to grow up

Lately
Everybody has a job in the city
They're working nine to five and dinner's eight thirty
But I'm still around with my folks

I grew up believing that practice makes perfect
My mama she told me that one day you'll see it
These days it's getting harder when everybody's giving up on their dreams
So maybe it's time for me

Lately
I'm feeling kinda sick of having no money
It's hard to pay the bills when nobody's paying you
For your dedication to your art

Lately
I saw another friend make it to the big leagues
I gotta say I wasn't happy for him at all
Someone who's never worked half as hard as me

'Cause I grew up believing that talent was only half of it
My mama she told me to work hard and you'll make it
These days it's getting harder when everybody's giving up on their dreams
So maybe it's time for me

(Guess I'll never have it all)

'Cause I grew up believing that dreams become reality
My mama she told me to make my dreams come true
But these days it's getting harder when everybody's giving up on their dreams
So maybe it's time for me
