Lyrics

Not Ready

[Verse 1]

We broke this open we shared the blisset things

We saw too much now we see nothing

You filled me empty space I didn't know I had

Slipped in me like a key, lock me up

We should've stopped the time

All I have now is a picture in this smoky mind

We should've stopped the time

All I have now is a picture in me

[Pre-Chorus]

I guess I'm not ready for reality

A young woman in a new world

I have a big responsibility

To live life wild and free like a bird

[Chorus]

Now is the time to be dancing

I'm too young to hold on

Soon I'm too old to let go man

That's when I go down on love

Now is the time to be dancing

I'm too young to hold on

Soon I'm too old to let go man

That's when I go down on love

[Verse 2]

Life turns so quick into shit that was up with you

I lost myself in this I'm sorry sorry

I need to ride alone

That's all I promise man don't worry worry

[Pre-Chorus]

I guess I'm not ready for reality

A young woman in a new world

I have a big responsibility

To live life wild and free like a bird

[Chorus]

Now is the time to be dancing

I'm too young to hold on

Soon I'm too old to let go man

That's when I go down on love

Now is the time to be dancing

I'm too young to hold on

Soon I'm too old to let go man

That's when I go down on love

And I always pay for my shit

[Chorus]

Now is the time to be dancing

I'm too young to hold on

Soon I'm too old to let go man

That's when I go down on love

Now is the time to be dancing

I'm too young to hold on

Soon I'm too old to let go man

That's when I go down on love
