Lyrics
How I Spent My Years
Words and music by Cliff Rubin
Verse
If I don't seize the day, the day seizes me
And I don't like that
If I don't take a stand, I'm taking a seat
And it's in the back
Chorus
Where does the time go, I don't know
But it's not coming back here
Come time for dying, I'll go smiling
Proud of how I spent my years
Verse
If I don't ride the wave, I'm under the tow
Where I can't breathe
If I don't play a part, I'm watching the show
Walk away from me
Chorus
Bridge
Taking chances, making mistakes
Bringing my best to life's situations
Chorus 2x
