This song is about how fleeting life can be.
It's also about knowing when to go with the flow and knowing when not to.
I think it's also about learning to be comfortable enough in your own skin to make those decisions.
lyrics
It's time to make a change
I feel the current hit the boat
Take it easy, relax babe
Just sit back and float
Life shapes you, yeah it breaks you down
Into what you will become
All is ebb and flow, all is wave motion
The time and tide wait for no one
One gesture, one person, one moment at a time
One wrong word, one false note
One moment to decide
Life shapes you, yeah it breaks you down
Into what you will become
All is ebb and flow, all is wave motion
The time and tide wait for no one
And sometimes when it's so quiet
All you here is your own heart
So you better learn babe, the sweet sound of it
Or it might tear your world apart
Life shapes you, yeah it breaks you down
Into what you will become
All is ebb and flow, all is wave motion
The time and tide wait for no one
