Living Dangerously

Five years have passed
Since our old friends all exclaimed
"Why rush to waste it away?"
"Don't hang your ambition and sense out to dry"
But I still know
Just as I knew well back then
We had nothing to defend
Not when our friends are out mowing the lawn
I'm not trying to disrespect
But I don't want to build a house
This old place will do just fine
To settle for and settle down
Never really crossed my mind
Oh I'll be living dangerously
With you instead
I might have said
"Buddy you're letting things slide"
Passively biding your time
For something better to arrive
Only to settle for what you're assigned
But I won't quit
Any uncomfortable cues
Only "congrats"
And "Good for you"s
Now that our friends are in debt and expecting
I'm not trying to disrespect
But selfish as it sounds
I would hate to compromise
To settle for the solid ground
Never really crossed my mind
Oh, I'll be living dangerously
With you instead
I'm not trying to disrespect
But I don't wanna build a house
This old place will do for now
To settle for and settle down
Never really crossed my mind
Oh, I'm not going to build a house
I don't really have the time
Oh, I'll be living dangerously with you instead
Oh, I'll be living dangerously with you instead
