The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Seize the day
That is what you always told me
Find a way
You would say as you would hold me
Get away from here
It's all so clear
You can't stay
Long ago
We were old enough to love
But not to know
There were dreams we kept inside
That didn't show
And now
We don't know how
To let go
I can't get there from here
And you can't get here from there
And we can't go anywhere
As long as we're still standing
On this road that leads
Nowhere
Touch the sky
If you don't, when you grow old
You'll wonder why
You did just what you were told
No one will cry for you
If all you do
Is long to fly
I can see
Our final curtain falling
Let it be
Listen to the voices calling out
To all who hear
Don't let your fear
Push life aside
I can't get there from here
And you can't get here from there
And we can't go anywhere
As long as we're still standing
On this road that leads
Nowhere
But out there it gleams
Far beyond all the things we know
The world of our dreams
Calling to us
But we don't go
I can't get there from here
And you can't get here from there
And we won't go anywhere
As long as we're still standing
On the road that leads
Nowhere
The road that leads nowhere
