We're tied to our memories they won't let us stray,
we're not gonna lose ones we made yesterday.
We look to our future and we make all our plans,
as if we control what is out of our hands.
The world keeps on turning I'm learning to see,
right where I am is where I have to be.
You can't count the pages, all ages hear the call,
no matter how hard we try life gets away from us all.
We start getting older the moment we live,
look over your shoulder there's hindsight to give.
Come good days and bad days the sun's gonna rise,
so why look beyond what's in front of your eyes?
no matter how hard we try life gets away from us all.
