Time on your watch, with no wiggle room,
You let it all fade like the scent of perfume.
There’s a quota on patience and tolerance too,
A one-man show that revolved around you!
CHORUS:
What were you thinking showing up at the door?
Denial of everything you chose to ignore,
Reroute your direction and find your own space,
What you once thought was worthy, you may never replace!
Did you truly believe that life adhered to your rules?
Self-absorption is really the logic of fools!
It’s wise to play fairly and keep feelings in check,
And best to stay clear of an emotional wreck!
What were you thinking with your every suggestion?
No options when compromise was out of the question,
Rethink your strategies, your motives and dreams,
Avoid tearing priceless fabric at seams!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Follow your passions with pillars of steel,
Never let competition take the wheel,
Always believe and never stop trying,
You are the pilot that never stops flying!
Throwing in the towel doesn’t make any sense,
Focus on skills and confidence!
Surround yourself with friends who support and believe,
Their drive and positivity will ensure you achieve!
CHORUS:
Don’t be overshadowed by the top of the ladder,
There’s climbing to be done to make it all matter!
Don’t be overshadowed by that bump in the road,
With your drive and talents on overload! ***
When your dreams are ideas, just take them and run,
When creativity is half the fun!
Goals are only beginning to bloom like flowers,
Imagine what you can do with infinite powers!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
A few good friends are all we really need,
Mutually valued to make it succeed,
There should be no tolerance for hurt that’s repeated,
When honesty’s compromised, then trust is defeated!
A bump in the road can always be expected,
A misunderstanding can be misdirected,
Discussions are critical to mend a fence,
Tolerating toxicity just doesn’t make sense!
(CHORUS):
Standing your ground is the best course of action,
Walk away from the drama and dissatisfaction!
Stand on your doormat that’s worth more than gold,
Instead of being treated like one that’s grown old! *****
No time to be wondering if their silence is planned,
Your silence speaks volumes they’d never understand,
Egos are ugly and make people look fake,
And they’ll rarely admit that they made a mistake!
(REPEAT CHORUS)

(REPEAT CHORUS)
You started a journey when you lost your direction,
Your plan was one sided without any reflection,
When you realized that you could not follow through,
The freeway ended with a detour for you!
A precious hour can be born in a minute,
Time and space seemed worthless without you in it,
But you were killing good time on your ego-filled ride,
A steep roller coaster on a mountain of pride!
CHORUS:
You finished a chapter without completing the book,
Thinking silence and ghosting got you off the hook!
To forfeit your game has never made you a winner,
When it came to competing you were just a beginner!
Step up to the plate instead of leaving the field,
Your wounded pride will never fully be healed,
You started something that you just couldn’t finish,
Significance and value you preferred to diminish!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
The singer is touring the world for their fame,
Bowler rolls the last strike for that perfect game!
The hockey goalie guards his cherished net,
As the high stakes gambler cashes in on his bet!
The drive to compete is an eventual win,
Regardless of the challenging game you are in,
Adventures are solo or part of a team,
The result is success when you’re chasing a dream!
Staying on top is being motivated,
Remaining positive keeps you strong and elated,
The grand slam homerun is just a batter away,
And making that touchdown will make your day!
CHORUS:
Stay motivated and your plans will be met,
Time’s getting shorter but it’s not over yet!
Stay motivated and you’re always on top,
The best road to take is the one that won’t stop! *****
Challenge yourself and take it to the next level,
The highlight of happiness is one where you revel,
Stay true to yourself to stay elevated,
You’ll meet all your goals when you’re motivated!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Can we meet halfway at a bench in the park?
There’s a path to go hiking of which we can embark.
We’ll set aside time so we can reminisce,
A wave of nostalgia from a sea of bliss.
Sharing a book is to share the same page,
Drama should always remain on the stage!
Avoiding games and comic strip tactics,
Avoiding egos and spinning theatrics!
CHORUS:
My way or the highway is the wrong direction,
It severs connections and detours affection,
Let’s plan an adventure with no concern for the weather,
Our souls are in sync when they are bonded together!****
Our highway should not be traveled alone,
Without our journey, we have no milestone,
The highway beyond exceeds endless concrete,
A symbol of longevity in love that’s complete!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
You walked on a mission for discovery,
Never figured out who you wanted to be,
Invading your psyche and your ego display,
There’s plenty of room, so I’ll get out of your way!
Was your grass really greener on the other side?
Did you find your destination on your self-serving ride?
You can sit on that grass for an awakening dawn,
But you’ll never know how good it was ‘til it’s gone!
CHORUS:
Where did you run to, and why did you leave?
Why make a comeback only to deceive?
Did you find yourself and your perpetual gain,
Or lost and floundering in puddles of rain?
Are you finding answers when you find yourself,
As you ponder your life while putting love on the shelf?
You’ve done too much damage to just wipe the slate clean,
Can’t put yourself first when you’re the last on the scene!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Push away negativity, and push away pain,
Find warm happiness in drops of cool rain,
Abandon toxicity, the drama and mess,
Don’t let others infringe on your happiness!
Surround yourself with those that truly care,
Beside you in joy, and again in despair,
Keep social circles in your bird’s eye view,
Rely on trust from those who always come through!
(CHORUS)
Be elevated with your hopes and passion,
Motivation and mojo are always in fashion,
Elevated beyond wildest dreams,
Don’t ever look down when at the height of extremes!
*******
Those who vanish are beneath your level,
Stay on track with your goals and don’t make deals with the devil!
Keep an open mind until you reach an impasse,
Or close it shut when someone’s devoid of class!
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Time on your watch, with no wiggle room,
You let it all fade like the scent of perfume.
There’s a quota on patience and tolerance too,
A one-man show that revolved around you!
