Lyrics

[Verse 1]
One day, it's here and then, it's gone
How are you still holdin' on?
How are you still holdin' on?
You felt this way for far too long
Waitin' for a change to come
You know you're not the only one
[Chorus]
And life passes you by
Don't be wastin' your time on your own
[Verse 2]
You're always tryin' to see yourself
Through the eyes of someone else
Through the eyes of someone else
Too shy to say that you need help
You and everybody else
You and everybody else
[Chorus]
Oh, life passes you by
Don't waste your time on your own
Yeah, life passes you by
Don't be wasting your time all alone
[Bridge]
As your heart gets bigger
And you try to figure out what's it all about
When your skin gets thicker
As you try to figure out what's it all about, oh
Oh-oh-oh
No, oh-oh
[Chorus]
Yeah, life passes you by
Don't waste your time on your own
[Outro]
One day, it's here and then, it's gone
How are you still holdin' on?
How are you still holdin' on?
