From the recording Light It Up
Lyrics
Mary she's got a book inside
If only she had time to write it
So she keeps it tucked away
Manny he's got a film half made
He just can't seem to find an ending
So he's keeping it for someday
In spite of all we say, you know we keep on putting off those dreams
Time just keeps on ticking while we think what we coulda, shoulda been
So light it up while you still can
Make a life over just plans
There's not a lot that you're gonna regret
When you look back on all of this
You'll wish you did
Jenny she's got a song to sing
She's just to shy to lean into it
So she hums it to herself
Just like that it's gone, another dream up on another shelf
So light it up while you still can
Make a life over just plans
There's not a lot that you're gonna regret
When you look back on all of this
You'll wish you did
You only get one life, one chance to get it right
One chance to pick your fight
You're never gonna find some other better time
Some bigger, clearer sign
So light it up while you still can
Make a life over just plans
There's not a lot that you're gonna regret
When you look back on all these years
The so-called failures and the tears
They’re just the signs of a life well lived
And ain’t you glad you did
