I didn’t have a plan I played it as it came Spent half my life afraid of things That never knew my name Worried how I looked Worried what they’d say Then I learned nobody cared They were busy anyway All those years I tried to be Something I thought they’d understand Now I know the only way Is writing it with my own hand There was no plan for this life And when there was, it went awry Every time I thought I knew Where the road was taking me Something changed, something broke Something slipped away You can write the plan You can stick to it And maybe it comes true Or tomorrow it all blows up And all that’s left is you I thought I knew where I would be By the time I made it here Thought the things I wanted most Would somehow just appear But some doors never opened Some people didn’t stay And some things I spent years chasing I don’t even want today Maybe life was never meant To happen like we understand Maybe being who you are Is how you write the plan There was no plan for this life And when there was, it went awry Every time I thought I knew Where the road was taking me Something changed, something broke Something slipped away You can write the plan You can stick to it And maybe it comes true Or tomorrow it all blows up And all that’s left is you So let it change Let it bend Let the perfect picture end Lose the map Miss the signs Take the road you didn’t find I spent so long preparing For a life that never came Now I’m finally living Without needing it explained There was no plan for this life And maybe now I know why Everything I thought I needed Was just something passing by So I’ll write the plan And I’ll change the plan Whenever I need to ’Cause tomorrow it could all blow up And all that’s left is you I didn’t have a plan I played it as it came And somehow all these wrong turns Still brought me here today
