How To Live (Album Version)

When I'm giving advice to others
I take more than
I can give
It's a birds eye view of what
I want you to do or how to live
And I really don't have to suffer
I still do it anyway
I'm a diamond in the rough or
I'm a dirt clod in the clay
Guess what
I lost my job
It's just my luck
Reveal you've always been the actor and those puppy dog eyes
Well one of y'alls tellin' the truth the other one is lying
And it's someone else's fault so often
You're gettin' rude, you're gettin' tall it's a great big world darlin' your translation is just a little off.
So what, You made a mistake
You try to hide the time
The time is life
Gets a little bit larger everyday
And it grows till it's out of control
I've been giving my advice to others trying to tell them how to live
A little lying, a bit of truth what
I'd like for you to do and how to give
And I really didn't need to suffer
I still did it anyway
What a great big world
I better find some way to stay
Guess what?
You're gettin' old
Still gotta grow up.
