21 years, she figured it outShe started a job, she’s feeling it outAnd for once, it feels rightWas feeling like the prime of her life
But all of that is just a dreamShattered now, and everything’s changedWith one car and one nightIt’s driving through the prime of your life
Took your freedom, there’s no reasonJust keep breathingTime doesn’t hear if you ask it to wait
La, da-da-da-da, la, da-da-da-daSo own all your tears and just roll with the wavesLa, da-da-da-da, la, da-da-da-daLife, it could change, it could change in a dayLa, da-da-da-da, la, da-da-da-daSo cherish your years and just roll with the wavesLa, da-da-da-da, la, da-da-da-daTime doesn’t hear, so roll with the waves
11 years old, my only friendYou’d taken me in, but where was I?When he took his lifeOh, I was singing in the prime of my life
Where was I when you were calling?I can’t go backTime doesn’t hear if you ask it to wait
La, da-da-da-da, la, da-da-da-daSo own all your tears and just roll with the wavesLa, da-da-da-da, la, da-da-da-daLife, it could change, it could change in a dayLa, da-da-da-da, la, da-da-da-daSo cherish your years and just roll with the wavesLa, da-da-da-da, la, da-da-da-daTime doesn’t hear, so roll with the waves
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, oohLive in regret, or eye to the future?I’d rather be here, thinking about the now‘Cause this breath could fade fastAnd this day could be your last
La, da-da-da-da, la, da-da-da-daSo own all your tears and just roll with the wavesLa, da-da-da-da, la, da-da-da-daLife, it could change, it could change in a dayLa, da-da-da-da, la, da-da-da-daSo cherish your years and just roll with the wavesLa, da-da-da-da, la, da-da-da-daTime doesn’t hear, so roll with the waves
La, da-da-da-da, la, da-da-da-daLa, da-da-da-da, la, da-da-da-da
