Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Time to live
Time to live like we're coming to war
Time is a gift
Time is a present that can not be bought

Show me your list show me your list and then
Cross some shit off cross some shit off
Show me your list and then
Cross some shit off

Why are we waiting?
Why are we, what are we waiting for?
So sick of waiting
So let's be impatient, let's be impatient

It's okay to get a little irresponsible
'Cause we're making up the blueprint as we go
Yeah, we're on our way to the glory days

It's okay to live a little
Bit of life you see
'Cause tomorrow isn't guaranteed
Yeah, we're on our way to the glory days

Days

Glory days, days

Glory days

Sorry not sorry
We are a mess and we're wearing it well
Sorry not sorry
We are connected like out of this world
Don't fear danger
One life to live so we live how we like
We live how we like yeah, yeah

Why are we waiting?
Why are we, what are we waiting for?
So sick of waiting
So let's be impatient, let's be impatient

It's okay to get a little irresponsible
'Cause we're making up the blueprint as we go
Yeah, we're on our way to the glory days

It's okay to live a little
Bit of life you see
'Cause tomorrow isn't guaranteed
Yeah, we're on our way to the glory days

was gonna say wait til it blows up. saw your comment was from August. still not blown up? the fuck?

Richard Chen

Empowering, catchy, super fun, great production (audio and video), nice work all!

Lyrics are vastly thoughtful. For me, I think of the glories of past and to come, it's easy to grab at the ones past, harder to make new ones to come. May we all be empowered to make them for individual enjoyment and universal sharing as this mv does.
