Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Twenty-one years, she figured it out

She started a job, she's feeling it out

And for once it feels right

Was feeling like the prime of her life

But all of that is just a dream

Shattered now and everything's changed

With one car and one night

Was driving through the prime of your life

[Verse 2]

Took your freedom, there's no reason

Just keep breathing, time doesn't hear if you ask it to wait

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

So own all your tears and just roll with the waves

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

Life, it could change, it could change in a day

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

So cherish your years and just roll with the waves

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

Time doesn't hear so roll with the waves

[Verse 3]

Eleven years old, my only friend

You'd taken me in, but where was I?

When he took his life

Oh, I was singing in the prime of my life

[Verse 4]

Where was I when you were calling?

I can't go back, time doesn't hear if you ask it to wait

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

So own all your tears and just roll with the waves

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

Life it could change, it could change in a day

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

So cherish your years and just roll with the waves

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

Time doesn't hear so roll with the waves

[Verse 5]

Live in regret, or eye to the future?

I'd rather be here, thinking about the now

'Cause this breath could fade fast

And this day could be your last

[Verse 6]

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

So own all your tears and just roll with the waves

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

Life it could change, it could change in a day

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

So cherish your years and just roll with the waves

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

Time doesn't hear so roll with the waves

[Verse 7]

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da

La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
