here's your life, enjoy

When I was a kid

My mother would say

Don't run off too quickly

You'll fall on your face

Go out with your friends

But don't be too long

The homework is waiting

You gotta get on

And all my life I've been so good, did everything as asked

Played by the rules and played it safe, chose work instead of fun

But youth is wasted either way, it's just another coin

I wish somebody told me, told me

Here's your life, enjoy it

Maybe try not to destroy it

It don't matter either way

It's all ending the same way

We walk through the world

With our eyes half-closed

We think that we know

But don't even come close

We look to the past

To what we were told

And cling to that truth

Like it's carved in stone

And if I have a kid one day I will be terrified

Cause anything I'd say or do could break that little mind

Damned if you do, damned if you don't, this is the truth of life

I’m gonna say it, say it, say it

Here's your life, enjoy it

Maybe try not to destroy it

It don't matter either way

It's all ending the same way

Here's your life, enjoy it

Maybe try not to destroy it

It don't matter either way

It's all ending the same way

I didn’t know that it would be so hard

I didn’t know that it would be so hard

I didn’t know that it would be so hard

Here's your life

Here's your life

Enjoy, enjoy

Here's your life, enjoy it

Maybe try not to destroy it

It don't matter either way

It's all ending the same way

Here's your life, enjoy it

Maybe try not to destroy it

It don't matter either way

It's all ending the same way
