Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been waiting patiently
I've been living half asleep
Painting all these pictures
Losing what's in front of me
[Verse 2]
Bottled lighting, poured it out
Still here trying to figure out
Everything I'm missing
And what is real, what's make believe
[PreChorus]
There's a fine line
Between what we want and what we need
There's a fine line
And it's getting the best of me
[Chorus]
Don't wish your life away
Don't live for yesterday
You're chasing dreams and running blind
With fantasies inside your mind
Hoping things are gonna change
Don't wish your life away
[Verse 3]
Countless colors, but in my eyes
All I noticed was black and white
Funny how a vision
Can leave you so unsatisfied, oh-oh
[PreChorus]
There's a fine line
Between what we want and what we need
There's a fine line
And it's getting the best of me, oh
[Chorus]
Don't wish your life away
Don't live for yesterday
You're chasing dreams and running blind
With fantasies inside your mind
Hoping things are gonna change
Don't wish your life away
[PostChorus]
Oh-oh, woah
Oh-oh, woah
[PreChorus]
There's a fine line (Fine line)
Between what we want and what we need
There's a fine line (Fine line)
And it's getting the best of me, oh
[Chorus]
Don't wish your life away
Don't wish your life away
Don't live for yesterday
Don't wish your life away
Don't wish your life away
