Cashing Your Reality Check

I'd like to say that everything will be alright
 But I'm just not in the habit of telling lies
 The world is gonna kick you while you're down
 But you can't spend the rest of your life on the ground
 I bet think that you're invincible
 And the world revolves around you
 But the harsh truth is nobody owes you a damn thing
 You're stuck with the life you choose
 You're on your own but you don't know it yet
 Out here alone in the wilderness
 Nobody's gonna give you what you want
 You've gotta grab your chance and hold on
 I wouldn't wish this uncertainty on my worst enemy
 But it's a part of growing up
 And just because you're afraid of change
 It doesn't change the fact that things will never be the same again
 So go on pretending that your youth isn't ending
 You can lie to yourself but you can't blame your fate on anybody else
 You're on your own but you don't know it yet
 Out here alone in the wilderness
 Nobody's gonna give you what you want
 You've gotta grab your chance and hold on
 You're running out of second chances
 And second guessing everything you do
 But while you're wallowing in self-pity
 The world keeps spinning
 It's not waiting around for you
 Time to face the future
 Time to face reality
 Time to wake up
 You're on your own but you don't know it yet
 Out here alone in the wilderness
 Nobody's gonna give you what you want
 You've gotta grab your chance and hold on
 You're running out of second chances
 And second guessing everything you do
 But while you're wallowing in self-pity
 The world keeps spinning
 It's not waiting around for you
 The world won't wait for you
