Lyrics

Always seem to put things off
Oh look, there's something shiny
Stuck inside my mental fog
Hey what’s this right behind me?
I really need a way to focus
But there’s always a new distraction
Something gets in my way
So I never seem to get much traction
And you know that
My future's waiting
It's at the station
I just can’t get going
I need motivation
I gotta get out of bed
But I’m playing games instead
It’s me and my generation
Won’t someone please help me
Stop me and my procrastination
Hanging with my girlfriend
Things got so complicated
She gets frustrated at me
Doing the things she hated
I’m stuck in a dead end job now
Supposed to get ahead
But I’m content to follow
My prospects all seem dead
But I know that
My future's waiting
It's at the station
I just can’t get going
I need motivation
I gotta get out of bed
But I’m playing games instead
It’s me and my generation
Won’t someone please help me
Stop me and my procrastination
And I know that it’s all up to me
I can’t go through life slumming
I need to make a choice and see
There’s nobody else coming
No there’s nobody else coming!
My future's waiting
It's at the station
I need to get going
I’m my own motivation
I will get out of bed
Not playing games instead
No blaming my generation
Nobody else will help me
So I’ll stop my procrastination
Yeah no more procrastination
Yeah I’ll do that
Tomorrow

Composer’s Thoughts

I think we all struggle with procrastination these days. I know I do. There’s so much that distracts us that we’d rather be doing. One could say it’s become the plague of the technological generations, with instantaneous gratification. So playing off of the thought of a train station being where our future is waiting, I wanted to provide a big of motivation to get up and get going.

Zayn’s Thoughts

Even the world may seem like there’s not a lot of opportunities, we have to remember that we make our own futures. Nobody else will do it for us. So this really speaks to me as well to keep plugging away. There’s so much we can achieve if we just get up and do it.

Jessica’s Thoughts

I know that my day job can drive me insane. But my dreams will only come true if I make them happen.
