The Plan
H. Scott Salinas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

My friends look out for me like family
My mom's been struggling since I was three
My friends look out for me like family
My mom's been struggling since I was three
Am I scared, am I pushed, am I worried?
Another day, another year, so what's the hurry?

Here I sit, alone and in despair
You know the world outside is cold, alone and unfair
No motivation, no college degree
Day to day survival starting to worry me

No goals, no money, no inspiration
My crew, tattoos, that's my only salvation
Five years from now where will I be?
On the same road with no future to no destiny

No ideas and fear is on my mind
Tell me, is my life just a waste of fucking time?
Someday maybe I'll find a way
To make all my fears go away
Five years from now where will I be?
On the same road with no future to no destiny

My friends look out for me like family
My mom's been struggling since I was three
My friends look out for me like family
My mom's been struggling since I was three
Am I scared, am I pushed, am I worried?
Another day, another year, so what's the hurry?

Only one love in my life
You know the rest, they never felt so fucking right
There's got to be more, stop procrastination
Like depending on my brothers for a touring vacation
Five years from now where will I be?
On the same road but no future, no destiny





Another day, another year, so what's the hurry?
