Well, I think that this sentence has different structure in English and in Spanish:

Your life goes.
La vida se te va (a ti).

If I said: "la vida va", I wouldn't say the same, but: "Life goes".

I don't think the concept is different, but we must realize that the structure of a sentence can be different in other languages.
