If things go well
You may tell yourself
You must've got it down
But when the sky turns black
Your waves will crash
What do I do now?
It's not a simple equation
You must be diligent every single day
And tend to your patience
You've gotta savor the flavors
Be enticing to strangers
Your neighbors, the kids
Anyone who ever made a name
The ones who tell you what remains
Now I'm not sure I'll make it
But I know I have to
Hold onto this life closely
You know it's not gonna last
I see you walk past me, so happy
Hope you left room for the pain
And all of the rain on your parade
When you lose yourself out on the path
I'm playing a game with
Half the heart and twice the sweat
So remember my name
Cause the next time you see me
I won't be off guard
It's not a simple equation
You must be diligent every single day
And tend to your patience
Now I'm not sure I'll make it
But I know I have to
Hold onto this life closely
You know it's not gonna last
I see you walk past me, so happy
Hope you left room for the pain
And all of the rain on your parade
When you lose yourself out on the path
Hold onto this life closely
You know it's not gonna last
I see you walk past me, so happy
Hope you left room for the pain
And all of the rain on your parade
When you lose yourself out on the path
