I wake up put my poker face on

It's roughly the same hand

I was dealt yesterday

I stand up and stare out at the skyline

It's roughly the same town

That i saw yesterday

Living doesn't come first try

It takes a lifetime getting it right

It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing

To find my place in the worlds symphony

To become the man today

The man i thought i could be

It takes a lifetime

It takes a lifetime

I wake up and bandage these scars

The scars of my heart

That prove that i'm still alive

That i'm still alive

Living doesn't come first try

It takes a lifetime getting it right

It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing

To find my place in the worlds symphony

To become the man today

The man i thought i could be

The man i thought i could be

The man i thought i could be

It takes a lifetime

It takes a lifetime

It takes a lifetime

It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing

To find my place in the worlds symphony

To become the man today

The man i thought i could be

It takes a lifetime

It takes a lifetime

To become the man today

The man i thought i could be

It takes a lifetime

It takes a lifetime
