Stuck in Safe Mode

Life is too short
To live with regrets
Wondering what-ifs
Or what might have been

Stuck in the yard
Watching from the porch
Instead of out in the street
Chasing down cars

Sitting on the sidelines
Safely on the bench
But you can't win the game
If you never take the shot

Live like there's only today
Even if your heart breaks
It's not so fragile you'll see
Then live tomorrow the same way
