Lyrics

CHORUS
Feels like life is passing you by
But you know that’s no reason to cry
If you just think about all the things that you’ve got
You will find that you’ve got a lot

So… you think that you’re stuck in a rut
The doors to life’s pleasures seem shut
You don’t know which way to turn
All around you the people you see
Seem to understand just how to be
And you feel you’re still trying to learn
CHORUS:
On… Facebook they’re having a ball
And when you’re lonely there’s no-one to call
No-one’s listening but all want to speak
Out your window there’s nothing to see
And there’s only repeats on TV
How will you find the life that you seek
CHORUS:
The… good things that you’re hoping for
All start in your heart that’s for sure
Be the change you want to make
We… all struggle sometimes that is true
So remember it’s not only you
And try to give more than you take
CHORUS:
