American Aquarium The Things We Lost Along The Way Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I been runnin' circles most of my days
And I still can't find a path that keeps me out of my own way
From a long line of losers with bad luck in their veins
Carryin' the weight of a lifetime of mistakes

[Chorus]
They say time is the cruelest trick of all
You're ridin' high, next thing you know your back's against the wall
You can't take it with you when you go
And we've all gotta die someday
When it all turns to black, we'll be left lookin' back at all the things we've lost along the way

[Verse 2]
It's a razor thin line between what's wrong and right And the dark road doesn't seem so dark if you've never seen the light
Wish I'd learned to let go, like a bird upon the breeze
Back before I learned to say "no" to the things that brought me to my knees

[Chorus]
They say time is the cruelest trick of all
You're ridin' high, next thing you know your back's against the wall
You can't take it with you when you go
And we've all gotta die someday
When it all turns to black, we'll be left lookin' back at all the things we've lost along the way
