Can someone tell me where this is from? Is this a poem/song/literature?

Question

This is how it works

You're young until you're not

You love until you don't

You try until you can't

You laugh until you cry

You cry until you laugh

And everyone must breathe

Until their dying breath

What is it from? What does it mean?

Answer 1

This is from a Regina Spektor CD.

Link below gives you all the words to this song.

What does it mean?  Well, good art may mean something different to each person.  It's inspirational, and hopefully, also provides some insight to facing daily problems, even while listening to a radio.  Rest of song sings about hearing words/songs on a radio.  

This could also stand for one's inner voice, not a real radio.

Hope this will help you enjoy it all.

Answer 2

It's from a Regina Spektor song! :)

The song is called "On The Radio"

I'm not entirely sure what it means, I think it speaks for itself though.
