Movin' On
Backstreet Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Only one life to live in
Trying our best to make it through
Ooh we're trying our best to make it through
There's no mistakes, just lessons
It's all about what they mean to you
Ohhh, oh yeah no matter what you've gone through (you can)
Pick up the pieces, move on with your life
Cause we have to accept the wrongs and try to make them right
It may be hard to look at yourself and see the truth
Baby you've got to realize it takes time to become you
So just get to

Movin' on
We're movin' on
We're movin 'on
Living day by day, everything must change
But in a way everything stays the same
Movin' on, movin' on, movin' on, movin' on
Movin' on

Well take what you've been given
Gotta take a chance while we can
Ooh, ohh yeah
To find our place in our world
We gotta understand the plan (understand)
Pick up the pieces, move on with your life
Cause we have to accept the wrongs and try to make them right
It may be hard to look at yourself and see the truth
Oh realize it takes time to become you
Oh, just get to

Movin' on
We're movin' on (you know we''ve got to keep on movin' on)
We're movin 'on (nothing''s gonna stop us)
Living day by day, everything must change
But in a way everything stays the same
Movin' on, movin' on, movin' on, movin' on
Movin' on

Moving on
We're moving on (you know we've got to keep on moving on)
We're moving on (nothing's gonna stop us)
Living day by day, everything must change
We know we've changed
But we're still the same
Getting closer to what we're supposed to be
As life goes on uou'll have your time
Cause everything's meant to be
Whooaa ohhh

Movin' on (movin' on)
Movin' on, movin'' on
Everything must change
While we're still the same (still the same baby)
Movin' on
We're movin' on (moving on)
We're movin' on (moving on, moving on)
Living day by day, everything must change
But in a way everything stays the same (stays the same)
Movin' on, movin' on, movin' on (stays the same)
Movin' on, movin' on, movin' on (onnnn.. woo)
Movin' on, moving on
Everything must change




While we're still the same
Movin' on, movin' on
