soundtrack to your life lyrics

If you can hear me
And know that I'm right here
I heard your heartbeat
It took away the fear

Cuz my life is sliding
I tried to ride the wave
It came down crashing
It's time to start again

Backwards to go forward
Left at every corner
Been there and back again
And when the music ends

Your life is a flashback
A question, a photograph
A statement, a story, a struggle
A chance to laugh

Cuz if you don't laugh you cry
A last crescendo when you die
So hit the rewind and listen
It's the playback
The soundtrack to your life

First step, your last breath
Everything's been planned
There's questions, and answers
You'll never understand

I hold on, but let go
I give you room to breathe
Remember, the best things
Were never mine to keep

Starting at the ending
It won't break, while you're bending
Been there, and back again
And when the music ends

Your life is a flashback
A question, a photograph
A statement, a story, a struggle
A chance to laugh

Cuz if you don't laugh you cry
A last crescendo when you die
So hit the rewind and listen
It's the playback
The soundtrack to your life
The soundtrack to your life

And it could fly like a burden, and my name
It may be different than yours but, you got the same
Beat up, broken, back for more
I'll be dragging my own ass off the floor
I've thrown myself right in and
What's the point if you don't live it?

If you can hear me
And know that I'm right here
I heard your heartbeat
It took away the fear

Your life is a flashback
A question, a photograph
A statement, a story, a struggle
A chance to laugh

Cuz if you don't laugh you cry
A last crescendo when you die
So hit the rewind and listen
It's the playback
The soundtrack to your life
