Lyrics
[Intro] I used to think Life was about becoming someone Now I think It’s about learning how not to lose yourself [Verse 1] My grandfather worked his whole life Just to buy a house he barely lived in My father spent his years stressed out Trying to give us what he never had And now I’m staring at a glowing screen Wondering if any of this means anything Everybody’s chasing bigger dreams But nobody talks about the emptiness they bring [Pre-Chorus] We’re all scared of wasting time So we fill our lives with noise But silence tells the truth About the things we try to avoid [Chorus] Maybe the meaning of life Isn’t money or being remembered Maybe it’s the people you love And the moments you almost forgot The late night drives The old conversations The feeling of laughing so hard You forget your pain for a minute [Verse 2] One day we’ll all disappear Like footprints washed into the ocean And everything we thought mattered Will fade into another generation So why do we spend our whole lives Trying so hard to impress strangers? When the people who really love us Never cared about the image [Bridge] Maybe growing up Is realizing your parents were scared too That nobody really has the answers We’re all just pretending we do [Final Chorus] Maybe the meaning of life Is smaller than we imagined Maybe it lives in tiny moments We never knew were important A phone call from your mother A song that brings back memories Holding someone you love Before life changes everything [Outro] I used to think Life was about becoming someone Now I think It’s about learning how to be alive Before it’s over
