The biggest lie they can tell you is that things will never change
What they want to sell you is how to act your age

I've been away too long
Now home feels so strange
We never go backwards
We are staying this way

It is a lifetime
It is a lifetime til we’re gone
And I don’t know how we say goodbye
But it is a lifetime
It is a lifetime til we’re gone

The sun comes rising up but I’m still down
They tell me it’s gonna pass but it still hangs around

I’ve been here way too long
Now normal feels strange
I wanna move forward
But I’m staying this way

It is a lifetime
It is a lifetime til we’re gone
And I don’t know how we say goodbye
But it is a lifetime
It is a lifetime til we’re gone

I don’t know if there is another way to go
Whatever I do is always taking way too slow
I can remember you and it all seems worthwhile
Though I wish you’d stayed around just to see your smile

It is a lifetime
It is a lifetime til we’re gone
And I don’t know how we say goodbye
But it is a lifetime
It is a lifetime til we’re gone

The biggest lie they can tell you is that things will never change
