every year Lyrics

Life is so dynamic

Just like our small blue planet

The one and only constant is change

And we try so hard to understand it

But it's pointless

Like a broken pencil

The mystery is so essential

You can never know what the future holds

Except that it always holds potential

So keep moving forward

One foot in front of the other

Learn from your history

But leave the past where it's supposed to be

And hopefully mistakes won't become regrets

Take a breath and brush them off

Get that dirt off your shoulder

Before you get older

And realize you suffered a lot

A broken clock will not make time stop

It only stops when time's up

I've got less and less time

Every year of my life

And I've been messing up

But that's just fine

Cuz that's just growing up

You know, it's starting to frighten me

How the years get faster

And life moves faster than lightning

The past few years have enlightened me

I've been holding on tight

To the life behind me

Instead of looking right at the light inside me

And noticing the light that is all around me

In the form of life

And the beauty in my surroundings

It is quite astounding

Why'd it take so long for me to see

It was sitting there right in front of me

Looking at me in the eyes

Now I'm looking back in disbelief

I've been pissed and full of grief

Taking all the shit, and stitching it to my sleeve

But it's time that I change clothes

And own what I've done wrong

This song is about life, it's a love song

A broken clock will not make time stop

It only stops when time's up

I've got less and less time

Every year of my life

And I've been messing up

But that's just fine

Cuz that's just growing up
