Me in the mirror now's a little older Still I don't know enough Weight of the world somehow sits on my shoulders And I'm just catchin' up My mother said "Ooh, nothing's ever easy right away" Tryin' to be someone, ambition's dangerous It comes and goes so fast The things I haven't done I'm so impatient I want it all so bad My father said "Ooh, nothing's ever easy right away" Oh, I promise it won't be long Why don't you wait and see? All you could ever want We'll get where it's meant to be Promise it won't be long Oh, I promise it won't be long Why don't you wait and see? All you could ever want We'll get where it's meant to be Promise it won't be long Why do we have to live in different places? I wanna be with you You're fallin' out of this My heart is breakin' You ask "what can we do?" And then you said "Ooh, nothing's ever easy right away Ooh, but we're better than yesterday" Oh, I promise it won't be long Why don't you wait and see? All you could ever want We'll get where it's meant to be Promise it won't be long Oh, I promise it won't be long Why don't you wait and see? All you could ever want We'll get where it's meant to be Promise it won't be long
