You Can't Live Your Life in a Day

Talking to a friend of mine this morning
He told me how his life was gonna change
All the reaching for the skies
And dreams unrealised
Had left him alone with his pain
And he just couldn't face it again
I said didn't you believe in tomorrow ?
'cause today's just a scene in the play
You might get some bad breaks and you'll make your mistakes
But you can't live your life in a day

Fifteen years old and on the outside
You got your face against the window looking in
Old enough to see, but too young to be free
In a grown up world loaded with sin

And your folks they don't get your frustration
'cause they can't recall feeling that way
So you fight, and you hate, but you'll just have to wait
'cause you can't live your life in a day

It always seems like life went so fast when it's gone
But when you're waiting for something,
It drags on and on
You can't take no comfort
When everyone says
You'll look back and laugh at today

I said you believe in tomorrow ?
'Cause today's just one scene in the play
You might get some bad breaks and you'll male your mistakes
But you can't live your life in a day

'Cause tomorrow will always be coming
It's the one thing they can't take away
And you'll lose and you'll win
And you'll do it again
But you can't live your life in a day
No you can't live your life in a day
No you can't live your life in a day
