10K Hours - James Tw

Every now and then, I wonder why I spend

Time following the crowd

They say time is valuable, so we spend it in school

'cause they tell us that’s how

You build your career like we’re the ones who steer

But I’m wasting my days

I’d rather get a head start and listen to my heart

But I’m afraid of change

And I know I’m not the only one

Who feels like they’re not where they belong

Waiting to make the world my stage

But I can’t because of my age

It’s time to put the books away

I don’t wanna stay in school, 'cause I’d be better off

Putting in ten thousand hours, doing what I love

No, I don’t wanna stay in school, 'cause I’d be better off

Putting in ten thousand hours, doing what I love

Oh, and if I stay, what difference will it make?

It’s a shame degrees don’t take a couple days

All the time I’ve lost, playing myself and not

Sitting wondering what’s the opportunity cost?

If I left, what if I fall off track?

People telling me, «Make sure you got a fallback»

It’s a risk, that I’m willing to take

It could be the best mistake that I ever made

I know I’m not the only one

Who feels like they’re not where they belong

Waiting to make the world my stage

But I can’t because of my age

It’s time to put the books away

I don’t wanna stay in school, 'cause I’d be better off

Putting in ten thousand hours, doing what I love

No, I don’t wanna stay in school, 'cause I’d be better off

Putting in ten thousand hours, doing what I love

I don’t wanna stay in school, 'cause I’d be better off

Putting in ten thousand hours, doing what I love

No, I don’t wanna stay in school, 'cause I’d be better off

Putting in ten thousand hours, doing what I love, oh

I don’t wanna stay in school, 'cause I’d be better off

Putting in ten thousand hours, doing what I love

No, I don’t wanna stay in school, 'cause I’d be better off

Putting in ten thousand hours, doing what I love

Putting in ten thousand hours, doing what I love

Putting in ten thousand hours, doing what I love

Putting in ten thousand hours, doing what I love

Putting in ten thousand hours, doing what I love
