Lifetime Lyrics by Kris Allen

Kris Allen (Deluxe Edition)

2009

[Verse 1]
I wake up, put my poker face on
It's roughly the same hand I was dealt yesterday
I stand up and stare out at the skyline
It's roughly the same town that I saw yesterday

[Pre-Chorus]
Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right

[Chorus]
It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the world symphony
To become the melody
The man I know I could be
It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime

[Verse 2]
I wake up and bandage these scars
The scars on my heart
They prove that I'm still alive
Yeah, I'm still alive

[Pre-Chorus]
Living doesn't come first try
It takes a lifetime getting it right

[Chorus]
It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the world symphony
To become the melody
The man I know I could be
The man I know I could be
The man I know I could be

[Bridge]
It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime, yeah, yeah

[Chorus]
It takes a lifetime to learn how to sing
To find my place in the world symphony
To become the melody
The man I know I could be
It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime
To become the melody
The man I know I could be

[Outro]
It takes a lifetime
It takes a lifetime
