That everything changed
But every time you wake
Your dreams just slip away
You write it in your diary
Of collected yesterdays
If there’s something you don’t want to see
You just tear out the page
I know you wonder what could have been
If you had taken the other road instead
But you know it’s only in your head
It takes a lifetime
To get it right
And only sometimes
Do we recognize
It takes a lifetime, takes a lifetime…
You say you want to get away
You only stayed so you could say
Everything will be ok
On some other someday
Until that day, we just wait
Keep collecting yesterdays
Staying in the same place
Just waiting on a train
I know you wonder what could have been
If you had taken the other road instead
But you know it’s only in your head
It takes a lifetime
To get it right
And only sometimes
Do we find out why
It takes a lifetime, takes a lifetime…
Today was going to be the day
That everything changed
