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.

[Chorus]

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 I'm a stand up for love, yeah...

[Chorus]

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.

[Bridge]

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 ohh

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 strong

Oh oh, while everybody's focused on the hype

Oh oh, oh oh... 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, no.

[Chorus]

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, hey

Cause what if tomorrow never comes

I'm not waiting, no I'm not waiting

For the confetti to fall.

I'm not waiting to be happy

No, no, no, no, no, no, no...

Ooh, yeah...
