Every now and then you wonder what went wrong
Short-term memory sings the latest song
but over time the many lines were drawn
forcing everyone to a place where they belong

we know by now
it's hard to turn this around
but like the leaves change
we just have to rearrange
in order to get by

friends and lovers were never approved to provide
but a parent is anyone showing you how to survive
if there's no game then there's no win or lose
but as it stands now it's got to be me or you

we know by now
it's hard to turn this around
but like the leaves change
we just have to rearrange
in order to get survive

we know by now
it's hard to turn this around
but like the leaves change
we just have to rearrange
in order to get by
