Walking Time

They say the first step is the hardest, it gets easier as you go.
But I'm stuck in indecision 'cause it might cost more than I know.
How could I ever turn my back on such a big part of my past?
But if I don't I could be stuck right here and my days are fading fast...

Come on, get on, move down the road
Come on, get on, lose your load

Sometimes you run away, sometimes you fly
Sometimes you jump overboard, right now, it's walking time

I find comfort in the familiar - faded jeans I love to wear
beat up shoes slide on like my skin, that creaky easy chair
But I'm not ready to retire now, take it easy all my days
My bucket list is spilling and it's time to change my ways

Come on, get on, move down the road
Come on, get on, lose your load

Sometimes you run away, sometimes you fly
Sometimes you jump overboard, right now, it's walking time

Tick-tock-tick - why are you waiting?
Tick-tock-tick - time never slows.
Tick-tock-tick - stop hesitating –
you can't get it back after it goes...

Sometimes you run…
Sometimes you fly…
Sometimes it’s overboard…
Right now, it's walking time.
