If playing it smart & safe is making you feel like a waste, don’t be afraid to make a change. It’s not too late for you. Written, performed, recorded, produced and mixed by GOOD TERMS Lyrics by Ivan Barry, Zach Boucher & Brian McShea Calloused knuckles white against my sink And inches from the mirror I couldn’t recognize a thing Just a face in fear My five minute drive, I would drag it out to ten Just to spend less time in a hamster wheel for security It wasn’t worth it just to feel Empty and unfulfilled Like a failure just standing still And now that I found the will To quit and take the risk I wish I realized this sooner Oh no I hope it’s not too late The years are passing fast Can I pick up where I left off last? Or did I compromise my fate? I hope it’s not too late, I hope it’s not too late Who am I now? Just a checklist of mistakes? Can I erase my breakdowns and anxiety? My past isn't me, that's the last I'll ever feel Empty and unfulfilled Like a failure just standing still And now that I found the will To quit and take the risk I wish I realized this sooner Oh no I hope it’s not too late The years are passing fast Can I pick up where I left off last? Or did I compromise my fate? I hope it’s not too late, I hope it’s not too late I played it smart I played it safe Why do I feel like such a waste? It’s black and white, I’m black and blue And I’ve got nothing, I’ve got nothing I played it smart I played it safe Why do I feel like such a waste? It’s black and white, I’m black and blue And I’ve got nothing left to lose But it’s getting harder and harder Yeah it’s getting harder and harder I wish I realized this sooner Oh no I hope it’s not too late The years are passing fast Can I pick up where I left off last? Or did I compromise my fate? I hope it’s not too late, I hope it’s not too late Produced by Zach Boucher Mixed by Geo Botelho Mastered by Alan Douches Drums performed by Brendan McCusker GOOD TERMS is Brian McShea (Lead Vocals & Guitar), Geo Botelho (Bass & Vocals), Ivan Barry (Guitar & Vocals), and Zach Boucher (Guitar & Vocals) Genre Emo
