Sitting on top of the world Trying to figure it out Trying everything new for the first time Testing your patience by running my mouth I thought I knew more than I do now He said I, I was you yesterday Take your time don't give it all away Start living life in the moment Your eyes are barely open then it's gone When you're playing life by the numbers Try run away the faster it comes It's not lightyears away It's not lightyears away It isn't lightyears away You'll never be told No you'll never listen Until you've been walking in these shoes You're just growing older, but don't overthink it Wear your mistakes like an armour He said I, I was there yesterday Take your time, don't give it all away Start living life in the moment Your eyes are barely open then it's gone When you're playing life by the numbers Try run away the faster it comes It's not lightyears away It isn't lightyears away Yeah, it's not lightyears away It isn't lightyears away Time don't wait for no one (You'll be older when the morning comes 'round) Time don't wait for no one (And you'll feel like it's a real long time) You'll feel like it's a real long time Start living life in the moment Your eyes are barely open then it's gone When you're playing life by the numbers Try run away the faster it comes It's not lightyears away It's not lightyears away It isn't lightyears away It's not lightyears away
