Confetti lyrics

I gotta keep myself in check sometimes

'Cause I tend to dream real big sometimes

The fancy outfits and the sparkly awards

My name in lights, the people lined up at the doors

But I gotta remember to take it one step at a time

People seem to think

that you'll be happier once you reach the top

You'll have it all

But I'm living for right now

'Cause what if tomorrow never comes

I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting

For the confetti to fall

I can't just sit around and wait for my life to start

I can make a difference,

Put a little happiness in someone's heart

The fancy cars, the glitter and the fame

It's all nice but it won't be worth a thing

Love is bigger, so imma stand up for love, yeah

If there was a rope stretching up to the sky

with all of my dreams at the very top, so high

I get so caught up in everything around me, moving quickly

I forget to cherish every single moment I receive

I forget about the climb, I just wanna get there

Don't wanna wait in line, even though it's so clear

that I'm called to use patience on this journey that I'm on

I know that I'll come out alive and it'll only make me stronger

While everybody's focused on the hype,

I'll be wondering why

We seem to think you'll be happier

once you reach the top

You'll have it all

But I'm living for right now

'Cause what if tomorrow never comes

I'm not waiting, I'm not waiting

For the confetti to fall
