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.

(chorus)
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.

(repeat chorus)

No matter how hard we try
Life gets away from us all.
