life is a long winding road   the end is unforeseen   so i'll just do as i'm told      life is an empty book   words yet to be filled in   so i'll have to hold on   through the thick and thin   cause we're all here to win         the roadsigns are always messed up   they won't tell you where to go   you don't know what life is about   cause it's just for show   you can't find your way out   and you're sinking deep down below   but sometimes you just have to read between the lines   to know, woah oh         life is the basic instructions   before leaving earth   a movie in production   of what we are worth   so make your decision fast   cause whatever's coming next won't last         the roadsigns are always messed up   they won't tell you where to go   you don't know what life is about   cause it's just for show   you can't find your way out   and you're sinking deep down below   but sometimes you just have to read between the lines   to know, woah oh
