It’s been one of those days, one of those weeks
Who knows, maybe it’s one of those years
Kicking the pavement, chasing the pay cheque
Still don’t know where your heart’s at
It’s been such a long time, such a long time
You ask your mother, say how can I know what to think?
When the only thing I know is I don’t know what any of it’s about – she says
It’s about life, it’s about love
It’s about realising you can make it up as you go along
There’s nothing wrong with taking it as it comes
You went on one of those dates You’re gritting your teeth and looking for an exit line Had one of those nights, you planned to be early And caught every red light Stuck in one of those moments Questioning everything you’re been fighting for You don’t know if it’s worth it anymore
You ask your father, say, how can I know what I want?
When the only thing I know is I don’t know what any of it’s about – he says
It’s about life, it’s about love
It’s about realising you can make it up as you go along
There’s nothing wrong with taking it as it comes
Living in the moment, you can own it
And be the only one to tell you where you’re going
So lay it all on the line, every single time
You’ve got it goin’ on now
You’ve got it goin’ on now
You can’t recognise up if you don’t know down
You can’t appreciate the sun if you’ve never been covered in cloud
You won’t reach the high if you’ve never been low
That’s the way that life goes, it’s the way that it rolls
So every son or daughter
You can achieve what you put your mind to
And if you’re feeling down
If your heart starts to doubt, remember
You’ve got it goin’ on now
You’ve got it goin’ on now
