Life’s Lemons (after the song Life’s For the Living by Passenger)

I’m trying so hard

But I’m still not getting far

It’s like I’m going ’cross the country

When I haven’t got a car

I’m eating all the lemons

That life constantly throws

'Cause I don’t have time for lemonade

And that’s just how it goes

You see, I want to travel the world

But I’m staying in one place

Yeah, I’m standing at the starting line

Watching the world race

And I’d love to do it all

Oh, but don’t you recall

That I still haven’t even got a car

Maybe I’m getting nowhere

Because I don’t know where I’m going

So I’m walking back and forth

Hesitant and never knowing

If I’ll ever get somewhere

Or if I’ll spend my whole life pacing

Afraid of dipping my toes in water

'Cause who knows what fish I’m facing

But I swear I’m not fearful,

I’m just not exactly daring

And the more that I keep trying

The less that I start caring

If only I could drive away

Forget it all just for a day

But I still haven’t even got a car

Oh, oh, what can I do

When there’s no way to start new

Or freeze time and wait 'til it’s right

But this time a fish might just bite

Fake it 'til you make it, they say

So I’ll say I’m optimistic

Maybe I don’t need a car

I guess walking’s more simplistic

And the next time life throws lemons

Maybe I’ll have time to make a pie

But whatever I do, I will live

I won’t let life pass me by
