Coastin'

I've got a terrible habit
that I would like to kill.
I keep telling myself
that some sweet day I will.

Of course, someday never comes,
and I'm still being as lazy as ever,
and I've managed to turn someday
right into a never.

You see, I try to get by
doing as little as I can.
Every time I try to change,
I fail miserably again.

My hope for the future
just keeps growing slimmer.
I stare back at the past
and hope's fading shimmer.
