Analysis of Do It Now Or Wish You Had Forever
Fan the flame or bypass an occasion.
Play the game to finish your equation.
Risk the stand or swallow a dominion.
Beat the band to finish your opinion.
Be the clown or cover up commotion.
Paint the town to finish your devotion.
Ask her out or stay in obscurity.
Dump the doubt to finish your surety.
Bend the rule or become a tag along.
Find the tool to finish your unique song.
Do it now or wish you had forever.
Make the vow to finish your endeavor.
