Life Is Changing

What is this so-called life?
When everyday you're spending it on something you'll throw away,
In the end nothing ever comes back to you.
What's the matter with you?
You thought she loved you yet here she goes again,
Stringing away on your heart chords and then,
Out the door she goes and onto the next one.

CHORUS:
If there was a thing called forever,
I'd promise to never let you down.
But when we're all just mortal,
It is harder to keep anything at all.
I wish there was, I wish there was,
But time keeps on going
Forward, and Forward,
Yeah time keeps on going.

If there was an everlasting key to eternity,
I'd say it was love but even that always changes.
The entire planet rearranges
Every hour of every day
We're wasting our entire life away.

I used to know what I needed to do,
But that all changed when I met you.
Now time seems to go crashing by
And every minute I come closer to the day I die.

CHORUS:
If there was a thing called forever,
I'd promise to never let you down.
But when we're all just mortal,
It is harder to keep anything at all.
I wish there was, I wish there was,
But time keeps on going
Forward, and forward,
Yeah, time keeps on going.

I used to remember when I was just a little thing,
And I used to pretend my toy telephone would ring.
It seemed so simple back then,
Nothing ever seems simple when you're grown.
You know it all and yet you make the same mistakes,
It's play it safe or face the risk you gotta take.

CHORUS:
If there was a thing called forever,
I'd promise to never let you down.
But when we're all just mortal,
It is harder to keep anything at all.
I wish there was, I wish there was,
But time keeps on going
Forward, and forward,
Yeah, time keeps on going.
