In the meantime, some boy's gonna break your heart Into a million pieces make you feel like you wanna die In the meantime, you're gonna wonder what's your purpose Question God and tell some lies One day you'll figure out This circus we call livin' When that happens you'll be fine So just try to learn or laugh or love in the meantime So take in everything, go on and have your fun You don't wanna miss a thing You'll find out when you're done You'll live your way into who you'll become In the meantime, you're gonna think you hate your parents Take some stupid chances, swim against the tide In the meantime, you're gonna criticize your body Tryin' to look pretty, not seein' what's inside One day you'll wake up wiser Tired of bein' tired Find your eyes were open wide Just try to learn or laugh or love in the meantime So take in everything, go on and have your fun You don't wanna miss a thing You'll find out when you're done You'll live your way into who you'll become So cut yourself some slack, don't over analyze it The truth is somewhere down the line Just try to learn or laugh or love I promise that will be enough Just try to learn or laugh or love in the meantime Oh, in the meantime
