On Track

I close my front door

And turn on the light

I let out a breath

And hold in a sigh

Ain't nothing new

Ain't that much in sight

And if I'm counting days

Dream fruition ain't

What it's looking like

But strictly speaking, I'm still on track

Strictly speaking, I'm holding on

More than a minor setback

But strictly speaking, I'm still on track

And all of my dreams are still in sight

'Cause strictly speaking, I've got my whole life

I lost a wheel a while back

But strictly speaking, I'm still on track

Challenges falling in my lap

Strung out again, but still on track

I know it's unrealistic

Over-optimistic

I know I tried before this

I know it's nearly August

I know I can't ignore this

I'm looking forward to all this

Saying, "Babe, I just adore this"

And, "Babe, can we afford this?"

I know it's been a slow year

Nothing much to show here

I didn't really go for it

So not a lot to show for it

The hardest part is over

Adjusting makes it slower

So glad you're coming over

A wall to bring us closer

The world ain't waiting for ya

Nothing to lose it over

We're just a little older

The rest comes easy

The rest comes easy

'Cause life's like that

But strictly speaking, I'm still on track

Strictly speaking, I'm holding back

Troubles keep falling in my lap

Yeah, but strictly speaking, I'm still on track

So tell everyone I'll be alright

'Cause strictly speaking, I've got my whole life

More than one major setback

But strictly speaking, I'm still on track

The hardest part is over

Adjusting makes it slower

So glad you're coming over

A wall to bring us closer

The world ain't rooting for ya

Nothing to lose it over

We're just a little older

The rest gets easy
