Wishing My Life Away by Taylor Alexander Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I've been wishing my life away
It’s the only way I know to make it through the day
Knowin' something better's waiting down the road a ways
It’s funny how you never realise until I passed you by
Wishing my life away

[Verse 2]
I was prayin' for the morning light
Before the night was even young enough to cry
Before the stars had even had a chance to shine
I guess I coudda called a friend found some trouble [take it in?]
Wishing my life away

[Chorus]
They ain't handing out prizes
For growin' up too fast
Life's a race you won't mind finishing dead last
When you wake up one morning wond'rin' where the years have gone
You might get what you wished for after all
[Verse 3]
I’m so worried ’bout the coming days
That I never let myself enjoy anything
Tell myself I didn't need it anyways
Whodda thought that trying to save a buck was gonna cost so much?
Wishing my life away

[Chorus]
They ain’t handing out prizes
For growin' up too fast
Life's a race you won't mind finishing dead last
When you wake up one morning wond’rin' where the years have gone
You might get what you wished for after all

[Outro]
When you wake up one morning wond'rin' where the years have gone
You might get what you wished for after all
I've been wishing my life away
