You’re getting better all the time

Is an art that’s hard to teach”

Sets off an unsuspecting herd
And as you step back into line
A mob jumps to their feet”

And what was left of the day
Has been taken away
Show me how to live
Show me how to live”

To be the one who’s left behind
And I’m in too deep
And I’m not gonna lie”

Show me how to live
Show me how to live”

I’m lost in the crowd
And I can’t hear a sound
I’m lost and I’m found
I’m feeling so small

Show me how to live”
