time in life and death

Save It For Later
by SPLENDER

So you're thinking about tomorrow
and all those simple things you think you might like
but you've been tripping in the daylight, you see
well I've been trying to keep things light

So you're looking for approval
to do those stupid things your father might like
well you might kill youself to get it, you see
but it might never make things right
it just might leave you more uptight

And all the things within the world
and all the boys and all the girls
who never seem to get enough
they save it for later, you see

All the saints and all the freaks
and all the strange philosophies
the novelties and memories
they save it for later, you see
they save it for later, you see

So now you're looking for some revelation
but you're still lying there, still in your bed
well I've been spilling with emotions
but have you heard a word I've said?

So you're thinking 'bout tomorrow
by reliving every minute of your past
well I'm just living for the moment, you see
'cause I'm just trying to make it last
'cause I've just seen it go too fast

And all the things within the world
and all the boys and all the girls
who never seem to get enough
they save it for later, you see

All the saints and all the freaks
and all the strange philosophies
the novelties and memories
they save it for later, you see
save it for later, you see

And the best part of my life
is the worst part of your day
And the best part of my song
is the last part you ever play

And all the things within the world
and all the boys and all the girls
who never seem to get enough
they save it for later, you see

All the saints and all the freaks
and all the strange philosophies
and everyone who never speaks
they save it for later, you see

Then all the things within the world
and every boy and every girl
who never seems to get enough
they save it for later, you see

Every time you build it up
and put it in your paper cup
it never seems to be enough
you save it for later, you see
you save it for later, you see

don't save it for later, you see
your life would be greater, you see

this weekend, i have learned a lot.

i felt old, i felt time was catching up with me, i felt like i was dying on the inside and making terrible use of whatever time i have left here on this earth in terms of my spiritual pilgrimage.

and then i was made to realise that while i was busy worrying about making a waste of my future, my present was wasting away by this very (in)action of worry.
