This Side of Your Life

I’ve got a new choice to make
I’m tired of my yesterdays looking just like today always the same
Been reading familiar lines hoping to renew my mind
with color of the phrases, red and black on wrinkled pages

You say oh hold on, live your life like you won’t be long here
This could all be over now don’t let regrets come crashing down
You say oh hold on, live your life like you don’t belong here
Don’t you know you’ll never get another try this side of your life

Been walking at a backwards pace watching aspirations fade
Like a falling star and a meteor I’m burning out
But the echoes of the words you say they wake me like an earthquake
You inspire me, inspire me with your words

You say oh hold on, live your life like you won’t be long here
This could all be over now don’t let regrets come crashing down
You say oh hold on, live your life like you don’t belong here
Don’t you know you’ll never get another try this side of your life
