"Used To Pray" lyrics

I was just a bedroom dreamer
Wishing on the glowing in the dark stars on the ceiling hmm
Singing for my 3rd grade teacher
Looked me in the eyes and told me she had a feeling, and I had a feeling

So I spent the next 10 years waiting for my moment
And if that little girl could see me now
She wouldn't believe how it's going

When I can't think straight
Too much on my plate
I gotta tell myself
That I used to pray for these days
I got a job and some bills to pay
Got a boy who loves to say my name
Got to go 'cause I'm running late
I used to pray for these days

Lately, I been outta town
Can't even sleep can't even meet my friends for coffee hmm
Catch myself looking around
Feeling behind so out of time
Ain't it funny
But it's not lost on me

That I've spent the last 10 years waiting for my moment
And if that little girl could see me now
She wouldn't believe how it's going

When I can't think straight
Too much on my plate
I gotta tell myself
That I used to pray for these days
I got a job and some bills to pay
Got a boy who loves to say my name
Got to go 'cause I'm running late
I used to pray for these days

Used to pray
For these days
Used to pray
I used to pray for these days

I got a job and some bills to pay
Got a boy who loves to say my name
Singing songs standing on a stage
I used to pray for these days
