Kimo Sounds Half My Life

I kept my best days folded away
Saving them for a life not yet begun
I read the calendar like it was scripture
Waiting for a sign that never comes
I thought
I'd start once things got easier
Once the timing finally lined up right
But the pages kept on turning without me and
I kept missing my own life
Half my life has been preparing
For a life that already began
The door
I thought was closing
Was opening my hand
I was always inside of
Just too busy getting ready to see
Half my life waiting
At the breath is the only one
I bring
I stop saving the good moment
Stop treating living like a waiting light
This ordinary moment right in front of me
Is my one and only time
The door isn't closing
It was never really closed
I was standing right inside it the whole time
And never knew
Half my life spent preparing
For a life that already began
The door
I thought was closing
Was opening my head
I was always inside it
Just too busy getting ready to see
Half my life waiting
At the entrance of the only life
I'd ever be
