about

Do you ever feel that everyone else is so much better at making decisions? Even if you don't, I certainly do! So this song is for those of us who end up stressing and worrying about what-ifs and whatnots, while admiring our friends who proudly dive head first into new chances and challenges.

lyrics

LYRICS
Lord knows I am afraid
Afraid of a huge mistake
A mistake I cannot unmake

You know he means the world to me
And what I just couldn’t bare to see
Is that he would decide to leave

Will I ever be ready for anything?
Why am I back against the wall
Feeling way too small
To make any moves at all
Will I ever be ready for anything?
What does it mean?
Who to believe?
Is what I feel just fake or real?

How do you all know what to do? (What to do)
How do you know you can work it out? (Work it out)
How do you all have no regrets? (No regrets)
How do I ”just think less”?

It took a while to like my life
Now finally I can call it mine
Letting go
Doesn’t feel that nice

No matter what I choose, I cry
Would you please not ask me why
Why can’t I just know what is right?

Will I ever be ready for anything?
Again I am back against the wall
Feeling way too small
To make any moves at all
Will I ever be ready for anything?
What is it like to jump and fly
Even enjoy a lovely ride?

How do you all know what to do? (What to do)
How do you know you can work it out? (Work it out)
How do you all have no regrets? (no regrets)
How do I ”just think less”?

Whatever move I take
Could make a heart break
But I know I can’t stay where I am
Just this once I’d like
To turn a page in my life
Not entirely terrified

(How do you all know what to do, how do you know what’s good for you?)
Oh, how I wish I could tell if my gut feeling's just fear
(How do you all know what to do?)
How can I tell, how can I tell, how can I tell?
(How to, how to, how to
I wanna stop being afraid)
How do you all know what to do?
(How to, I how to)
I wanna stop being afraid, I wanna stop being afraid
oh, oh
