You look away, you're speaking with your back turned
Summer's gone and it left me with a sunburn
Whatever happened to our afternoons?
Let's just assume that you lost me like a left turn
I spent my childhood looking at the stage
Waiting for the day it would be me and I could say
"Slow down..."
That's my philosophy
I get by
Making the best of what was mine,
If you think this could be what you want
Then you just gotta try
You won't mind
Playing a victim of the time,
'Cuz I swear it's getting better now
That's my philosophy
It could be over in a moment
The curtain falls before you know it
Looking forward towards the next scene
Remember back when we were young and still above
We're falling in and out of love and then again before the bell rings
If you take a trip through my mind
Who knows just what you'll find
Stop dead in your tracks from her eyes
Then put it all together,
That's my philosophy
I get by
Making the best of what was mine,
If you think this could be what you want
Then you just gotta try
You won't mind
Playing a victim of the time,
'Cuz I swear it's getting better now
That's my philosophy
Mmm...
Remember the look upon her face
You remember the way she loved the chase
If we ever go back there someday
I'd never, ever, let her get away
It's drinking away the summer days,
A moment in time we can't replace
I won't let my life go to waste, yeah
That's my philosophy
I get by
Making the best of what was mine,
If you think this could be what you want
Then you just gotta try
You won't mind
Playing a victim of the time,
'Cuz I swear it's getting better yeah...
I get by
Making the best of what was mine,
If you think this could be what you want
Then you just gotta try
You won't mind
Playing a victim of the time,
'Cuz I swear it's getting better yeah,
Whoa whoa,
That's my philosophy
