I woke the other day
And saw my world has changed
The past is over but tomorrow‘s wishful thinking
I can‘t hold onto what‘s been done
I can‘t grab onto what‘s to come
And I‘m just wishing I could stop, but
Life goes on
Come of age
Can‘t hold on
Turn the page
Time rolls on
Wipe these eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries
Memories are bittersweet
The good times we can‘t repeat
Those days are gone and we can never get them back
Now we must move ahead
Despite our fear and dread
We‘re all just wishing we could stop, but
Life goes on
Come of age
Can‘t hold on
Turn the page
Time rolls on
Wipe your eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries
With all our joys and fears
Wrapped in forgotten years
The past is laughing as today just slips away
Time tears down what we‘ve made
And sets another stage
And I‘m just wishing we could stop
Life goes on
Come of age
Can‘t hold on
Turn the page
Time rolls on
Wipe these eyes
Yesterday laughs
Tomorrow cries
The're already working on a new cd, Noodles (the lead guitarist and back up singer for you non-fans) said they wanted 10 albums. This will be #8. They said on their site they have been making new songs, Dexter made a bunch on his solo flight around the world.

vocal I hate it when artist release a greatest hits album and then make another album. Why can't they just hold off the greatest hits until they're done making music?

vocal believe me or not, i have heard this song so many times on the radio, and i loved it, but i just now read the lyrics today and I was literally in tears it is so good. wow, amazing. definately their best song in my oppinion. this may be my all time favorite, beating out imagine by john lennon, just b/c ive never cried over a song.
This is a good song, almost the only good song on the charts today. This song comes at a fitting time in my life, where I'm contemplating ideas such as what the lyrics in this song suggest.

vocal fuck i love this song and this band they are awesome i didnt know they started in like 1985 thats kinda weird i thought they started in like the 90's o well fuckin awesome band
I really do like this song. :'D
At first I didn't know it was Offspring, but The lead singer's voice has this sound to it, so I could tell.
Whee-hee-hee.

vocal this song didn't come out at a good time for me
but I still think that it's a great song
and it's sooooooo true life does go on and there is no possible way to stop it from continuing to go on... if any one figures out how to stop time and live in one moment forever can you tell me??
wonderfull song though
This song... i don't know. The Offspring's my favourite band and actually i expected a kinda-punk song into their brand new greatest hits, but when i heard this... lyrics are simply make-me-sad... i love it.
i saw them at warped tour (yesterday August 1)...they are like the oldest band there...dexter could easily be a father to some of the other guys in the younger bands...
ANYWAY...about this song...it sounded great live...dexter sounds exactly the same on the albums and live...great voice too...hehe
