Life is Rocking

Rocking is Living

Late train lights, buzzing streets

I’m counting years, between heartbeats

I still remember the first time I get a job

Hands were shaking, name on a clipboard

Cheap shirt, borrowed shoes, big dreams inside

Thought I finally stepped into my life

I still remember the first time I get paid

Staring at the numbers like they would stay

Felt ten feet tall for a moment or two

Like the world finally said, “Welcome to you”

But somewhere between the clock and the door

That feeling faded, I don’t feel it anymore

Now tell me why, why why why

I’m feeling so boring

When everything says I should be fine

I chased the days, I caught the morning

But left some pieces of me behind

I still remember the first time I spent that money

Bought cheap joy, laughed like it was funny

Coffee cups and late-night plans

Trying to live faster than I am

I still remember when it started gaining in number

Watched it climb like a silent wonder

Digits growing, heart standing still

Like happiness forgot where I live

I checked my balance, checked my phone

Still feeling strangely alone

So tell me why (why)

That’s not making me happier

When I have more than I did before

I’m richer now but my smile’s lighter

Like I misplaced what I was working for

Maybe I mistook survival for a dream

Maybe comfort isn’t what it seems

I built a life that looks okay

But something real keeps slipping away

Now I know why

I’m feeling so boring

It’s not the money, it’s the time

I was busy just keeping it going

Forgot to ask if I’m alive

I'm alive

Tick-tock hearts don’t count in cash

Some things break when you move too fast

Now I know why why why why

Now I know why why why why

Oh now I know why, why why why why why why

Oh now I know (Yeah!) now I know why

Yeah... the numbers grow, but they don’t glow

Like they used to, like they used to

Oh no no... the numbers grow, but they don’t glow

(Oh no no) oh no no (Oh no no) oh no no (Oh no no) oh no no

And just Rocking till the end
