Wilkinson, Thabo - Hopelessly Coping lyrics

Forget about your name
And your reputation
Put down your occupation
And your education
I heard what you said
About it being complicated
It ain't simple either way
Yes, a dream will make you pay

Somebody out here counting on you
To break through somehow
Somebody out here counting on you
To break through somehow

And you don't even know it
Where are you going
Or haven't you noticed
You're hopelessly coping

Settle, settle, settle down
Instead of running, running round
Settle, settle, settle down
Instead of running, running round

Settle, settle, settle down
Instead of running, running round
Settle, settle, settle down

So why play it safe?
What you mean, "just in case"?
Well of course you might fail
But that's what it takes
Can't run from the doubts
Either way you're gonna struggle
Look in the mirror and argue
Then tell yourself it ain't
Worth the trouble

Somebody out here counting on you
To break through somehow

And you don't even know it
Where are you going
Or haven't you noticed
You're hopelessly coping

And you don't even know it
Where are you going
Or haven't you noticed
You're hopelessly coping

Settle, settle, settle down
Instead of running, running round
Settle, settle, settle down
Instead of running, running round

Settle, settle, settle down
Instead of running, running round
Settle, settle, settle down

And you don't even know it
Where are you going
Or haven't you noticed
You're hopelessly coping
