Months of alarms waking you up
'Round your life like bars
What is the point of all of this back-and-forth?
Walk home from work, your body hurts
Thoughts are somewhere else
Rivers and straits, waiting for your wave to break
Sing along to your life
♪
Weathered and brave, you face the rain
Certain in your way
Blisters soon turn to callouses
You're welcoming the change
All fears and doubts look funny now
Small and far away
The years all fall so silently
Don't look behind you
It might be hard
Sing along to your life
It might be far
You can still get it right
It might be hard
Sing along to your life
It might be hard
♪
I see a couch some years from now
Lonely in its place
Static whistling, a hearing aid
Like a lyrebird
New knee in place, your memories
Small and far away
Lightning at sea, a litany
Of love behind you
It might be hard
Sing along to your life
It might be far
You can still get it right
It might be hard
Sing along to your life
It might be hard
Shaking, you say, we only go backwards
What is the point of all this pretending?
How can you claim the worst is behind you?
Nothing remains in all of this changing
Cold and afraid, the past is important
Don't look away from views of yourself
Just pick up the strain and push yourself forward
Compose yourself and you will feel better
