Lifetime - Kris Allen

I wake up, put my poker face on

It’s roughly the same hand I was dealt yesterday

I stand up and stare out at the skyline

It’s roughly the same town that I saw yesterday

Living doesn’t come first try

It takes a lifetime getting it right

It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing

To find my place in the world symphony

To become the melody

The man I know I could be

It takes a lifetime

It takes a lifetime

I wake up and bandage these scars

The scars on my heart

They prove that I’m still alive

Yeah, I’m still alive

Living doesn’t come first try

It takes a lifetime getting it right

It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing

To find my place in the world symphony

To become the melody

The man I know I could be

The man I know I could be

The man I know I could be

It takes a lifetime

It takes a lifetime

It takes a lifetime, yeah, yeah

It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing

To find my place in the world symphony

To become the melody

The man I know I could be

It takes a lifetime

It takes a lifetime

To become the melody

The man I know I could be

It takes a lifetime

It takes a lifetime
