I'm Joining the Parade
Chorus
I’m procrastinatin’.
I’m puttin’ off joinin’ the parade.
I’m procrastinatin’.
I’m waitin’ for a cure for pain.
I borrow from the future,
Hoping the now won’t last.
I complain about the way things are,
While I wallow in the past.
Verse 1
I’m avoidin’ the inevitable,
A showdown with myself.
I have to put my life in order.
I have to confront myself.
I tell myself I’ll do it today,
And, if not today, tomorrow.
I tell myself there’s plenty of time
To rectify my sorrow.
I tell myself I’ll do it today,
And, if not today, tomorrow.
I’ll change the way I operate,
But I know my words are hollow. So I’m
Though procrastinatin’. I’m
No longer walking away.
I’m finished putting off for tomorrow
What I can do today.
I’ll live each and every moment
As if it is my last.
I’ll choose every move I make
As if it is my last.
I’ll choose every move I make
From the wisdom of my past. So,
Chorus
