Worth It
Timeflies Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it's everything you dreamed
And there's so far left to run
How can you quit
When it's all you ever wanted
And you don't know what's to come
But don't you see
And this could be
All you've ever worked for
One step down
With a million left to go
It's just us now
And I wanna let you know
That it was all worth it
It was all worth it
Why do you hide
From exactly what it is you've been searching all along
And why do you wait
'Cause you know if you don't go and get it you'll regret it all when it's gone
You try so hard
It's what you play this game for
It's time you start
Getting what you came for
One step down
With a million left to go
It's just us now
And I wanna let you know
That it was all worth it
It was all worth it
And I wanna let you know
That it was all worth it
It was all worth it
Sacrifice, it wouldn't be half as nice
Without that struggle and hustle you know that that's the life
It's got me thinkin' oh oh oh oh oh whooa
It's got me thinkin'
Paradise, 'cause you went and did it right
See, now you work all day
And then you play all night
Now you're singing oh oh oh oh whooa
Now you're singing
One step down
With a million left to go
It's just us now
And I wanna let you know
That it was all worth it
It was all worth it
And I wanna let you know
That it was all worth it
It was all worth it
One step down
With a million left to go
