In the meantime, someday a boy's gonna break your heart
Into a million pieces make you feel like you wanna die
In the meantime, you're gonna wonder what's your purpose
Question God and tell some lies

One day you'll figure out
This circus we call livin'
When that happens you'll be fine
So just try to learn or laugh or love in the meantime

So take in everything, go on and have your fun
You don't wanna miss a thing
You'll find out when you're done
You live your way into who you become

In the meantime, you're gonna think you hate your parents
Take some stupid chances, swim against the tide
In the meantime, you're gonna criticize your body
Tryin' to look pretty, not seein' what's inside

One day you'll wake up wiser
Tired of bein' tired
Find your eyes were open wide
Just try to learn or laugh or love in the meantime

So take in everything, go on and have your fun
You don't wanna miss a thing
You'll find out when you're done
You live your way into who you become, yeah

So cut yourself some slack, don't over analyze it
The truth is somewhere down the line
Just try to learn or laugh or love
I promise that will be enough

Just try to learn or laugh or love in the meantime
Oh, in the meantime
