[Verse 1]
Every now and then
I wonder why I spend
Time following the crowd
They say time is valuable
So we spend it in school
'Cause they tell us that's how
You build your career
Like we're the ones who steer
But I'm wasting my days
I'd rather get a head start
And listen to my heart
But I'm afraid of change
[Verse 2]
And I know I'm not the only one
Who feels like they're not where they belong
Waiting to make the world my stage
But I can't because of my age
It's time to put the books away
[Verse 3]
I don't wanna stay in school
'Cause I'd be better off
Putting in 10,000 hours
Doing what I love
[Verse 4]
No, I don't wanna stay in school
'Cause I'd be better off
Putting in 10,000 hours
Doing what I love
[Verse 5]
Oh, and if I stay what difference will it make?
It's a shame, degrees don't take a couple days
All the time I've lost, tying myself in knots
Sitting wondering, what's the opportunity cost?
If I left, what if I fall off track?
People telling me, make sure you got a fallback
It's a risk, that I'm willing to take
It could be the best mistake that I ever made
[Verse 6]
I know I'm not the only one
Feels like they're not where they belong
Waiting to make the world my stage
But I can't because of my age
It's time to put the books away
[Verse 7]
I don't wanna stay in school
'Cause I'd be better off
Putting in 10,000 hours
Doing what I love
No, I don't wanna stay in school
'Cause I'd be better off
Putting in 10,000 hours
Doing what I love
[Verse 8]
(I don't wanna stay in school)
('Cause I'd be better off)
(Putting in 10,000 hours)
(Doing what I love)
(No, I don't wanna stay in school)
('Cause I'd be better off)
(Putting in 10,000 hours)
(Doing what I love)
[Verse 9]
I don't wanna stay in school
'Cause I'd be better off
Putting in 10,000 hours
Doing what I love
No, I don't wanna stay in school
'Cause I'd be better off
Putting in 10,000 hours
Doing what I love
Putting in 10,000 hours
Doing what I love
Putting in 10,000 hours
Doing what I love
Putting in 10,000 hours
Doing what I love
Putting in 10,000 hours
