This is how it works:                                             No, this is how it works:

You're young until you're not,                                   You peer inside yourself,

You love until you don't,                                     You take the things you like,

You try until you can't,                             And try to love the things you took,

You laugh until you cry,                       And then you take that love you made,

You cry until you laugh,                                           And stick it into some-

And everyone must breathe                                        Someone else's heart,

Until their dying breath.                                     Pumping someone else's blood.

                                                                              And walking arm in arm,

                                                                          You hope it don't get harmed,

                                                                                         But even if it does,

                                                                                You'll just do it all again.
