Hey, pretty girl with diamonds in your eyes
You find you’re in a place barely recognized.
Everything you knew and all your hopes and dreams
Are falling all around you, just like autumn leaves.
You say something’s just not right,
Afraid you’re falling behind.
You keep looking for a reason,
You keep trying to make it right.
Life is not a straight line.
But you’ll get there,
You’re gonna get there, baby.
You’re gonna get there, I swear.
A ticket in your hand, had your plans all drawn out.
But that train left the station, what you gonna do now?
When you were young everything was at ease,
Not it’s not that simple, no, there’s no such thing.
You say something’s just not right,
Afraid you’re falling behind.
You keep looking for a reason,
You keep trying to make it right.
Life is not a straight line.
But you’ll get there,
You’re gonna get there, baby.
You’re gonna get there, I swear.
Life is not a straight line,
But we’ll walk it together, you and I,
It’s gonna be alright, it’s gonna be alright.
You say something’s just not right,
Afraid you’re falling behind.

You’re gonna get there, I swear.
Life is not a straight line,
But we’ll walk it together, you and I,
You’re gonna get there, it’s gonna be alright.
