This Is How Life Is

Show me, show me how to live
There's no roadmap for all this
I can't quite believe that we're all still struggling
Give me, give me perspective (if we could go back would we go back)
Still trapped by teenage objectives (if we could go back would we go back)
Do my best to avoid nostalgia
The past snags like a guilty pleasure

We are standing on a ledge
The future is calling, feels like we're falling
Standing on a ledge
The future is calling, feels like we're falling
Standing on a ledge
No looking back 'cos this is how life is now

And I wonder does everyone feel the same
That we've mislaid the instructions to this game
And I wonder why I still persist
With dwelling on the things I miss
And wonder why nothing ever seems to change

Show them show them how to live (if we could go back would we go back)
Give them all we have to give (if we could go back would we go back)
We have had our day
Now we need to get out of their way

We are standing on a ledge
The future is calling, feels like we're falling
Standing on a ledge
No looking back 'cos this is how life is now

What is the worth?
What is the price?
Can we measure life?

And I wonder does everyone feel the same
That we've mislaid the instructions to this game
And I wonder why I still persist
With dwelling on the things I miss
And wonder why nothing ever seems to change

We are standing on a ledge
The future is calling, feels like we're falling
Standing on a ledge
No looking back 'cos this is how life is now
