Everybody knows that
Life is what you make of it
And now everything is perfect
But we're the ones who are struggling around
Soon it will be daybreak
People posing questions are aroused
"When will you get married?
When will you go find a proper job?"
But in this life
We might not know where we're going
We try to say the words they want to hear
But it's only a lie to bide the time
Before we move on own
Sentimental musings
Memories of a childhood that has passed
When I was a young'un
Things were once like this
But now they're not
How do you explain that
This map that we've chosen is unmarked?
All we see is ocean
All directions are uncharted isles
But in this life
We might not know where we're going
We try to say the words they want to hear
But it's only a lie to bide the time
Before we move on own.
