This Life

When I was younger, I could've swore time was on my side Now I'm a little bit older, and I'm beginning to fear now that I'll die Too young, Too old Too late, Too soon When I was younger, my heart used to roam buck naked and free Then I swapped it for a heart of money and society Don't waste your life On pennies and lies 'Cause people out there wanna steal your shine And if you let 'em they will every time When the goin' gets rough, don't think twice Just take a deep breath and realize That life's not a simple tune and sometimes we're led astray Sometimes you've just had enough of it all and you just wanna get away And just lose touch, babe Forget about the world But life is a pretty tune sung sweet and just off key Don't worry about perfection dear, it's a lie straight through the teeth Just enjoy this life babe Love is all you need Now that I'm older, I'm starting to drown in memories Fearin' that the best times have come and gone like love at 16 Don't lose that fire Inside of your soul Now that I'm older, I'm starting to see the beauty in All the small things and that sometimes losers really win Don't waste your life Being Mr. Right 'Cause people out there wanna steal your shine And if you let 'em they will every time When the goin' gets rough, don't think twice Just take a deep breath and realize That life's not a simple tune and sometimes we're led astray Sometimes you've just had enough of it all and you just wanna get away And just lose touch, babe Forget about the world But life is a pretty tune sung sweet and just off key Don't worry about perfection dear, it's a lie straight through the teeth Just enjoy this life babe Love is all you need
