weighted down with doubt
chained up with change
life is moving fast
and nothing is the same
it's hard to find
the words to speak
and harder to grab
what's just out of reach

no promises
and I'm learning this
I can't take for granted
what hasn't happened yet

no promises
and I'm learning this
there's no such thing
as a safe bet

like so many I'm searching
for something to count on

step back and look how we forget what we have
and then realize it can be gone so fast
we want to know what's next
want to believe that we all know the kicks life has up its sleeve

no promises
and I'm learning this
I can't take for granted
what hasn't happened yet

no promises
and I'm learning this
there's no such thing
as a safe bet
