[Verse 1]
I've been looking for light
Sitting here, at riverside
Searching in the evening sky for the stars to align
Am I wanting more?
Something I didn't know before
Not really sure what I'm looking for
[Chorus]
So it's not what it was
And it's not how it's been
But I've been learning, life is being fine with how it is
When you bought what they sold
All that glitters ain't gold
You'll be wondering why you ever tried to fit the mold
[Verse 2]
From what I can see
Everything is as it seems
Just waiting on epiphany to get to me
Twenty two, without a clue
Who knew this was something to get through?
Not really sure, what to do
[Chorus]
So it's not what it was
And it's not how it's been
But I've been learning, life is being fine with how it is
When you bought what they sold
But all that glitters ain't gold
You'll be wondering why you ever tried to fit the mold
[Bridge]
You could do anything, that you want
Or you could do nothing, isn't that something
You can be, anyone, that you want
Or you can be no one
So go and be someone
Because you know I need
Someone to help me through what I gotta do
[Verse 3]
When the going gets tough
Wanna pull the bridge up
To keep me from hurting the ones that I love
But every river that runs
Is always in flood
And no matter if you try
You'll never step in the same one twice
[Chorus]
So it's not what it was
And it's not how it's been
But I've been learning, life is being fine with how it is
When you bought what they sold
But all the glitters ain't gold
You'll be wondering why you ever tried to fit the mold
