John Reuben - Focus lyrics

It was different back then

Anything could happen

Ideas as big as your fantasies could imagine

Children practicing, that’s part of getting older

Impatiently waiting for time to move forward

Optimistic youngins running on adrenaline

At the center of the universe begging for your attention

Making a difference meant looking important

No heroes were made that day, how unfortunate

Came and went like adolescence took our wind and left us restless

Now we want the wind that kept us alive and feeling refreshed

They said it was of the essence

To us time wasn’t precious

There it goes now try and catch it

Watch it go

Focus focus

Don’t miss a thing

Wide eyed open

Don’t miss a thing

Can you afford your ambitions

When we arrive we’ll start living

Wow how awful the first time it felt impossible

And the world around me was no longer wonderful

I can’t give back your influence perspective is hard to undo

Thank you for the experience

Here’s some anxiety to keep you company as you waste your energy

Trying to build your legacy

Tell me what more can a man do then eat drink and enjoy his toil

I want to be casual but taking it easy is too stressful

Anticipation nowadays looks a lot more like anxious

Time killed away our imaginations

We used to escape into fantasies and fairytales

Now we medicate

How do you feel?

Focus focus

Don’t miss a thing

Wide eyed open

Don’t miss a thing

Can you afford your ambitions

When we arrive we’ll start living
