Focus
by John Reuben

Album: Word of Mouth


It was different back then. Anything could happen.
Ideas as big as your fantasies could imagine.
Children practicing: that's part of getting older.
Impatiently waiting for time to move forward.

Optimistic young'un's running on adrenaline.
At the center of the universe, begging for your attention.
Making a difference meant looking important.
No heroes were made that day. How unfortunate.

Came and went like adolescence.
Took our wind and left us restless.
Now we want the wind that kept us alive and feeling refreshed.
They said it was of the essence.
To us, time wasn't precious.
There it goes. Now try and catch it.
Watch it go.

Focus, focus, don't miss a thing.
Wide-eyed open, don't miss a thing.
Can you afford your ambitions?
When we arrive, we'll start living.

Wow, how awful the first time it felt impossible
And the world around me was no longer one before.
I can't give back your influence. Perspective's hard to undo.
Thank you for the experience.

Here's some anxiety to keep you company
As you waste your energy trying to build your legacy.
Tell me,
What more can a man do than eat, drink, and enjoy his toil?
I want to be casual, but taking it easy is too stressful.
Anticipation nowadays looks a lot more like anxious.
Time killed away our imaginations.
We used to escape into fantasies and fairy tales.
Now we medicate. How do you feel?

Focus, focus, don't miss a thing.
Wide-eyed open, don't miss a thing.
Can you afford your ambitions?
When we arrive, we'll start living.

Focus, focus, don't miss a thing.
Wide-eyed open, don't miss a thing.
Can you afford your ambitions?
When we arrive, we'll start living.
