[Verse 1: Tori Kelly]
I gotta keep myself in check sometimes
Cause` I tend to dream real big sometimes
The fancy outfits and the sparkly awards
My name in lights, the people lined up at the doors
But I gotta remember to take it one step at a time

[Hook: Tori Kelly]
Cause people seem to think
That you`ll be happier, once you reach the top
You`ll have it all
But I`m living for right now
Cause what if tomorrow never comes
I`m not waiting, I`m not waiting
For the confetti to fall, yeah


[Verse 2: Tori Kelly]
I can`t just sit around and wait for my life to start
I can make a difference, put a little happiness in someone`s heart
The fancy cars, the glitter and the fame
It`s all nice, but it won`t be worth a thing
Love is bigger, so I`m a stand up for love, yeah

[Hook: Tori Kelly]
People seem to think
That you`ll be happier, once you reach the top (once you reach the top)
You`ll have it all
But I`m living for right now
Cause what if tomorrow never comes
I`m not waiting, I`m not waiting
For the confetti to fall

For

[Verse 2: Tori Kelly]
If there was a rope stretching up to the sky
With all of my dreams at the very top, so high
I get so caught up in everything around me, moving quickly
I forget to cherish every single moment I receive ohh
I forget about the climb, I just wanna get there
Don`t wanna wait in line, even though it`s so clear
That I`m called to use patience on this journey that I`m on
I know that I`ll come out alive and it`ll only make me strong
While everybody`s focused on the hype
I`ll be wondering why we seem to think
You`ll be happier, once you reach the top
You`ll have it all
I`m living for right now
Cause what if tomorrow never comes
I`m not waiting, I`m not waiting, no


[Hook: Tori Kelly]
People seem to think
That you`ll be happier, once you reach the top (once you reach the top)
You`ll have it all
But I`m living for right now
Cause what if tomorrow never comes
I`m not waiting, I`m not waiting
For the confetti to fall

I`m not waiting to be happy
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
Yeah, no, yeah
