Carpe Diem (10th Anniversary Version)

[Verse 1: Jake Luhrs, Dustin Davidson]

I’ve thrown away all of my outside distractions

I’m diving headfirst to chase a dream that I won’t let go

It’s worthless - a waste of time

This goal is out of reach, you better fall back in line

[Verse 2: Jake Luhrs, Dustin Davidson]

This is what I need. You are what I need

I need motivation to prove you wrong, and I will prove you wrong

What makes you think that you are different?

How can you chase these dreams? They’ve become a chore

I know I’m close. I’m almost there

Just a little more, and I will prevail

Through what you call "ignorance", I will prevail

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge: Jake Luhrs]

Now I’ve chased this dream to do what I love

And I wouldn’t trade it for a thing

Now I’ve chased this dream and I made it out alive

I wouldn’t trade it for a thing

[Verse 3: Jake Luhrs, Dustin Davidson, Together]

I threw away what naysayers say

And started on a race that I had to win for myself

And you proved me wrong, you proved me wrong

All I’ve learned is teaching me more. All I know is driving me on

[Outro: Jake Luhrs]

All I’ve learned is teaching me more. All I know is driving me on
