21 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
It's driving through the prime of your life
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
11 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
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
Ooh
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
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
La, da-da-da-da, la, da-da-da-da
La, da-da-da-da, la, da-da-da-da
