{Verse 1}
This is the beginnin' of the rest of your life
You better start movin' like you're runnin' out of time
The realization comin' over your mind
That it should be a canter

{Chorus 1}
If you could just find the answer
You know it could be a canter
If you w'just a wee bit less of a monster
Mare' than half ae' the time

{Verse 2}
This is the beginnin' of the rest of your life
You better start graftin’ ‘cause you're runnin' out of time
The roof is on fire an'it’s raining outside
But it should be a canter

{Chorus 2}
If you could just find the answer
You know it could be a canter
If you w'just a wee bit less of a monster
Mare' than half ae' the time

{Bridge 1}
Because the hardest part of the game
Isnae' even playing the game
It caring enough to care about the things that you're daein'
Oh it's a wee cryin' shame
Here comes the rain!
{Verse 3}
This is the beginnin' of the rest of your life
You better start graftin’ ‘cause you're runnin' out of time
The roof is on fire, it’s raining outside
But it should be a canter

{Chorus 3}
If you could just find the answer
You know it could be a canter
If you w'just a wee bit less of a monster!
Mare' than half ae' the time!

{Bridge 2}
They tell you it's no easy
They tell you that it's hard
They tell you it's impossible to mend a broken heart
The lead role in a tragedy, pretending that it's art
An'it's hard to see the finish when you don't know where to start
I could write a stanza and put you in a song
Detail all the times when you were right and I was wrong
Flashbacks to the only place I've felt like I belong
You'll never be a king, when you're acting like a pawn

{Outro}
Because the hardest part of the game
Isnae' even playing the game
It’s caring enough to care about playin’ again
Oh, it's a wee crying shame
Here comes the rain
