Time won't have patience
For you to get it right
You can't start over
And still remember this life
You dismissed warnings
Before you conformed
So now you're fighting, to be
Who you were when you were born
When you were born
When you were born
While you're waiting for an answer
Life gets away
While you're waiting to be loved
Life gets away
While you're waiting for perfection
Life gets away
While you're waiting to be saved
Life gets away
You needed shelter
A calm from the storm
But you got an earthquake, baby
And ran straight out the door
And you lived through heartache
That you couldn't heal
And you had a fortune
That you couldn't feel
The world gave you a kingdom
It gave you a crown
But you can't be happy
Unless it's crumblin' down
Unless it's crumblin' down
Unless it's crumblin' down
Unless it's crumblin'
Waiting for tomorrow
Life gets away
While you're waiting for a sign
Life gets away
While you're waiting for direction
Life gets away
While you're waiting to say I love you
Life gets away
While you're waiting for the right time
Life gets away
While you're waiting for the right words
Life gets away
While you're waiting for the right time
Life gets away
While you're waiting to be heard
Life gets away
Life gets away, Life gets away
Life gets away, Life gets away
Life gets away, Life gets away
Life gets away, and away and away
Life gets away, and away and away
Life gets away
