Not For This World Lyrics - Attics To Eden - Madina Lake

I woke up to a dream passing by 

It was the middle of the night 

Was I awake? Was I asleep? 

What was I doing outside? 

I saw a man walk from the trees 

He came and sat next to me 

And he said, "Boy, if you don't follow your dreams 

You'll be dead someday just like me" 

Then he got up and walked away 

And I started to think 

He turned around, I saw his face 

And I looked deep in his eyes 

And I realized that man was me 

You're not for this world 

This world is for you and now is the time 

(There's no tomorrow) 

So make the most of every day 

While you're alive 

(Stand for something) 

I contemplate my every day 

And everything I've been afraid to change 

Never good enough, promptly too late 

Always excuses away 

I used to think if I never tried 

I would never fail 

Now I realize I can do anything 

You're not for this world 

This world is for you and now is the time 

(There's no tomorrow) 

So make the most of every day 

While you're alive 

(Stand for something) 

Too little, too late and then you die 

And no one even knows your name 

Don't let your light fight from your heart 

Your heart gives you the best advice, believe, believe 

You're not for this world 

This world is for you and now is the time 

(There's no tomorrow) 

So make the most of every day 

While you're alive 

(Stand for something) 

For what you believe 

For what you believe
