Kodaline – What It Is lyrics

So you're standing in the parking lot of life
And you're trying to figure out your fate tonight
And you hear a sound coming out of the car radio
Singing, "son if you don't learn, then you will never know"
So you try to drag your feet down to the bar
When you're starting to forget just who you are
And they told you, it was written in the stars
But you've never had a chance to look that far

Yeah, it's just the way it goes
Maybe you'll die young before you're old
Yeah, that's just the way it is
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live

In a world that changes every day
It's easy to get lost along the way
In a world that's never as it seems
Where people try to buy and sell their dreams
Where people try to buy and sell their dreams

Oh yeah, it's just the way it goes
Maybe you'll die young before you're old
Yeah, that's just the way it is
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live

Yeah, it's just the way it goes
Maybe you'll die young before you're old
Yeah, that's just the way it is
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live

Nobody's gonna tell you how to live
Nobody's gonna tell you how to live

'Cause nobody understands just what it is
