[Verse 1]

I've been looking for light

Sitting here, at riverside

Searching in the evening sky for the stars to align

Am I wanting more?

Something I didn't know before

Not really sure what I'm looking for

[Chorus]

So it's not what it was

And it's not how it's been

But I've been learning, life is being fine with how it is

When you bought what they sold

All that glitters ain't gold

You'll be wondering why you ever tried to fit the mold

[Verse 2]

From what I can see

Everything is as it seems

Just waiting on epiphany to get to me

Twenty two, without a clue

Who knew this was something to get through?

Not really sure, what to do

[Chorus]

So it's not what it was

And it's not how it's been

But I've been learning, life is being fine with how it is

When you bought what they sold

But all that glitters ain't gold

You'll be wondering why you ever tried to fit the mold

[Bridge]

You could do anything, that you want

Or you could do nothing, isn't that something

You can be, anyone, that you want

Or you can be no one

So go and be someone

Because you know I need

Someone to help me through what I gotta do

[Verse 3]

When the going gets tough

Wanna pull the bridge up

To keep me from hurting the ones that I love

But every river that runs

Is always in flood

And no matter if you try

You'll never step in the same one twice

[Chorus]

So it's not what it was

And it's not how it's been

But I've been learning, life is being fine with how it is

When you bought what they sold

But all the glitters ain't gold

You'll be wondering why you ever tried to fit the mold
