Hands are on the guard rail
Toes dipped in the water
You're telling me it's not fair
You need a little longer

You watch from the side-lines
While all this time is just passing you by
Did you ever stop to question why?

(chorus)
Cause' life will try to break you - love will take your heart
These moments will make you - become who you are
It's not about the false starts - it's not about the end
If every time you fall - you get back up again

You say nothing ever goes right
You collect all of these stories
Of every time that you failed
Clinging to the memories

Draw these guidelines
Convince yourself - you've fallen behind
While all this time is passing you by...

(chorus)

(bridge)
Why let all of this time pass you by
All of this time is just passing you by
If you ever stopped to question why -
You would know

(final chorus)

(alt sm. chorus)
Can't avoid the fall - just get back up again
If you're too afraid to lose - you're never gonna win
