Every now and then I wonder
Why I spend time following the crowd
They say time is valuable so we spend it in school
Cause they tell us that's how you build your career
Like we're the ones who steer
But I'm wasting my days
I'd rather get a head start
And listen to my heart but I'm afraid of change
And I know I'm not the only one
Feels like they're not but they belong
Waiting to make the world my stage
But I can't cause of my age
It's time to put the books away
I don't wanna stay in
School cause I'd be better off
Putting in ten thousand hours doing what I love
No I don't wanna stay in
School cause I'd be better off
Putting in ten thousand hours doing what I love
Oh and if I stay what difference will it make
It's a shame degrees don't take a couple days
All the time I've lost
I hear myself in knots
Sitting wondering what's the opportunity cost
If I left what if I fall off track
People telling me make sure you gotta fall back
It's a risk that I'm willing to take
It could be the best mistake that I ever made
I know I'm not the only one
Who feels like they're not where they belong
Waiting to make the world my stage
But I can't cause of my age
It's time to put the books away
I don't wanna stay in
School cause I'd be better off
Putting in ten thousand hours
Doing what I love
No I don't wanna stay in school cause I'd be better off
Putting in ten thousand hours
Doing what I love
I don't wanna stay in school 'cause I'll be better off
Putting in ten thousand hours
Doing what I love
No I don't wanna stay in school cause I'd be better off
Putting in ten thousand hours
Doing what I do
I don't wanna stay in school cause I'd be better off
Be better off
Putting in ten thousand hours
Doing what I love
No I don't want to stay this way
Cause I'd be better off
Putting in ten thousand hours
Doing what I love
Putting in ten thousand hours
Doing what I love
Doing what I putting in ten thousand hours
Doing what I love
I've been doing what I love
Putting in ten thousand hours
Doing what I love
Yeah yeah putting in ten thousand hours
Doing what I love
