The Days Keep Passing Anyway Lyrics by NoThingz
I′ve been waking up at noon again
Phone lit up beside my bed
Same four walls, same quiet ceiling
Too many thoughts inside my head
Mom keeps asking if I’m okay
I say “just tired” and force a smile
But I think she knows I′ve been lost
For more than just a little while
Outside, everybody’s moving
Getting jobs and moving towns
Meanwhile I can’t even answer
What I want from myself now
And the days keep passing anyway
Even when you stand still
The sun still rises every morning
No matter how empty you feel
I thought by now I′d be somebody
Someone younger me would know
But lately I′ve just been surviving
Not really living at all
There’s a notebook on my table
Full of plans I never did
Half-written songs and random ideas
All the versions of who I could′ve been
Sometimes I envy people
Who know exactly where to go
‘Cause every choice feels so important
When you′re scared to choose wrong
And no one tells you growing older
Feels less like winning, more like guessing
Like everyone became adults overnight
And you somehow missed the lesson
But the days keep passing anyway
Even when nothing changes
Life doesn’t wait for you to heal
Or suddenly become courageous
Maybe nobody truly finds themselves
Maybe we just keep trying
Building meaning out of small things
While the years keep flying
Tonight I′ll probably stay awake again
Thinking about the life I want
And maybe tomorrow I’ll take one small step
Or maybe I won’t
But the days will pass anyway
