My eyes can't believe what they have seen.
In the corner of your room you've stockpiled millions of my memories.
Oh Doctor, Doctor, I must have gotten this sick somehow.
I'm going to ask you a series of questions,
And I want them answered on the spot, right now.
"Is it serious?"
"I'm afraid it is."
"Am I gonna die?"
"Well son, death is gonna catch up to all one day,
But yours is coming quicker than ours, than ours."

Some things I may have taken for granted again and again,
Well here's what was said then,

"Hold your head high heavy heart.
So take a chance and make it big,
'Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get."
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big, planning.

I’ve never tried to make the best of my time,
When I thought that I had plenty of it.
Is this serious?
I don’t know what to think.
Is it all a lie?
Well one thing is for sure
I'm taken back to the glory days
When we were kids without a brash or bitter thing to say.
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/t/the+academy+is/the+phrase+that+pays_10230314.html ]
Now my life is one big make it, or break it.

Hold your head high heavy heart
Save your strength for the morning after.
So take a chance and make it big,
'Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get.
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big

So take a chance and make it big,
'Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get.
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big, planning.

Hold your head high heavy heart
Save your strength for the morning after.
So take a chance and make it big,
'Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get.
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big

So take a chance and make it big,
'Cause it’s the last you’ll ever get.
If we don’t take it, when will we make it?
I make plans to break plans,
And I’ve been planning something big, planning something big, planning.
