[Verse 1]

I woke the other day

And saw my world has changed

The past is over, but tomorrow's wishful thinkin'

I can't hold onto what's been done (Woah-oh)

I can't grab onto what's to come (Woah-oh-oh)

And I'm just wishing I could stop, but


[Chorus]

Life goes on, come of age

Can't hold on, turn the page

Time rolls on, wipe these eyes

Yesterday laughs, tomorrow cries


[Verse 2]

Memories are bittersweet

The good times we can't repeat

Those days are gone and we can never get 'em back

Now we must move ahead (Woah-oh)

Despite our fear and dread (Woah-oh-oh)

We're all just wishing we could stop, but


[Chorus]

Life goes on, come of age

Can't hold on, turn the page

Time rolls on, wipe your eyes

Yesterday laughs, tomorrow cries


[Verse 3]

With all our joys and fears

Wrapped in forgotten years

The past is laughing as today just slips away

Time tears down what we've made (Woah-oh)

And sets another stage (Woah-oh-oh)

And I'm just wishing we could stop


[Chorus]

Life goes on, come of age

Can't hold on, turn the page

Time rolls on, wipe these eyes

Yesterday laughs, tomorrow cries


[Outro]

Time rolls oh-oh-oh-oh-on
