Lyrics Twenty-one years, she figured it out She started a job, she's feeling it out And for once it feels right Was feeling like the prime of her life But all of that is just a dream Shattered now and everything's changed With one car and one night Was driving through the prime of your life Took your freedom There's no reason, just keep breathing Time doesn't hear if you ask it to wait La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da So own all your tears and just roll with the waves La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da Life, it could change, it could change in a day La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da So cherish your years and just roll with the waves La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da Time doesn't hear, so roll with the waves Eleven years old, my only friend You'd taken me in, but where was I? When he took his life Oh, I was singing in the prime of my life Where was I when you were calling? I can't go back Time doesn't hear if you ask it to wait La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da So own all your tears and just roll with the waves La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da Life it could change, it could change in a day La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da So cherish your years and just roll with the waves La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da Time doesn't hear, so roll with the waves Ooh-ooh Live in regret, or eye to the future? I'd rather be here, thinking about the now 'Cause this breath could fade fast And this day could be your last La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da So own all your tears and just roll with the waves La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da Life it could change, it could change in a day La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da So cherish your years and just roll with the waves La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da Time doesn't hear, so roll with the waves La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da La-da-da-da-da, la-da-da-da-da
