lyrics

Is this a busy city? Or is it just me?
My weeks just seem to fly past
Like some crazy London cab, passing me in a flash of black
When’s it going to hit me?
Those weeks add up so quickly, it’s kinda scary
And now winters here, another year
So then where did that time go, and did I spend it wisely?
And if not, why not?

I gotta find some time
Near impossible in this busy life
I can’t forget I’ve still got this song to write
And it won’t happen ’till I make some time in this…
Busy life

Enough of my complaining about this need of mine
'cause now that things are changing, I'm left high and dry
in an ocean of spare time - my excuses are fading
It's a simple fact of life: our times been allocated
And we'll use it just how we choose to
So when another week's gone by, and this verse is still waiting
I think it’s about time to stop

So what’s important to you?
What have you always wanted to do, but never had the time?
What is it you value enough to make room in your busy life?
Busyness is a blessing
Although when I’m stressing it’s often in disguise
So what I’m guessing is I’ll just have to learn to prioritise
And nail these last few lines
