[Verse 1: Karl Kling]
When you were young you had so many hopes and dreams about the future
You stood on tabletops and screamed profanities into the bleachers
And now you're older feeling left behind, still student to the teacher
Each day it's all the same, you plan to change but something holds you back

[Refrain: Karl Kling]
Repeating motion

[Chorus: Karl Kling]
You can't go on living like this
You've taken chances but could you ever take the risk
Throw it all away and give yourself away with it

[Verse 2: Karl Kling]
And as the years go by you think of all the times you let yourself down
As you get hypnotized by listening to your wallowing and self doubt

[Refrain: Karl Kling]
Repeating motion

[Chorus: Karl Kling]
You can't go on living like this
You've taken chances but could you ever take the risk
Throw it all away and give yourself away with it
[Chorus 2: Karl Kling]
You can't go on living like this
You've been through hell, kid, but you don't feel that heaven exists
If this is all there is
Let's make the most of it

[Verse 3: Karl Kling]
When you've had enough will you get what you're looking for?
Oh please, no, don't be sore
Overcritical, that's just like you are
Wish I had the words but I'm stuck with you so..

[Bridge: Karl Kling]
Repeating motion (7x)
Let's make the most of it

You can't go on (x3)
Let's make the most of it

[Chorus 2: Karl Kling]
You can't go on living like this
You've been through hell, kid, but you don't feel that heaven exists
If this is all there is
Let's make the most of it
Let's make the most of it
[Refrain/Outro: Karl Kling]
Repeating motion
