lyrics

You got a lot to learn about the way
Everyone's so concerned how it should be
And no one ever leaves on time
You can either ease my mind or get out of my brain

Break all the rules they wrote for yesterday
Go with the flow and roll with all the change
They break your back and steal your spine
The end is over before life ever gets in the way

You're always hanging on you're hanging on for dear life
The end is over

At the end of the road there's a light
And it's warm with a glow that's inviting and bright
And it says everything will be all right
But as quick as it came, it winks out of sight
And I know and I know and I know and I know and I know it's over
And I know and I know and I know and I know and I know it's over now

At the end of the line there's a bus
And it's got enough seats to hold each one of us
But the wheels have all dug into ruts
And we're stuck
I've never been one to complain
If you keep walking slow you'll stay under the rain
But each day is becoming the same
And I'm so terrified that I'll never escape
And I know and I know and I know and I know and I know it's over
And I know and I know and I know and I know and I know it's over now

Head over heels for pictures in the sun
Overthinking something underdone
They shake their hips and roll their eyes
You've seen it done a million times
The end is over before life ever gets any fun

You're always hanging on you're hanging on for dear life
