Game of Life
Life is a tricky game to play
Coasting through, not a care in the world
Like kids in a game of hide-and-seek
Making each move, not knowing
What's behind the corner?
Growing older, time still isn't winning
Suddenly, the game isn't much fun anymore
Questioning why you started in the first place
You need luck, but the cards aren't in your favor
3/4 of the way through, adulthood is here
In this game, there is no "Get Out Of Jail Free" card
The only way out is to keep playing
You're hoping to God you can move back 3 spaces
Just as the game is near over,
You've figured out the rules
No more running around blindly,
No more running at all
It all makes sense now
But you can't restart once you've begun
Desperately trying to hold back time
But like always,
Time just won.
