Kodaline What It Is song 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

Saying "son, if you don't learn, then you will never know"

So you try to drag your feet down to the bar

When you startin' 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 die young before you're old

Yeah, it's just the way it is

Nobody's gonna tell you how to live

In a world that changes everyday,

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

Yeah, it's just the way it goes.

Maybe you die young before you're old

Yeah, it's just the way it is.

Nobody's gonna tell you how to live.

Nobody's gonna tell you how to live.

(It's just the way it goes)

(Maybe you'll die young before you're old)

(Yeah, it'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
