Lyrics
This Life
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've blamed it and cursed it, got in it's way
God knows how much if it I've thrown away
It's twisted, and tangled, and hard to define
It keeps coming at me, one day at a time
This life, it's all that I've got
All that I am, all that I'm not
And it's worth all I go through
'Cause this life came with you
You're right beside me to help it make sense
The rock in this ocean I break against
Dead ends and darkness don't disappear
But it keeps getting better, the longer you're here
This life, it's all that I've got
All that I am, all that I'm not
And it's worth all I go through
'Cause this life came with you
Spinnin' a bottle (spinnin' a bottle)
It's spinning a pill (spinning a pill)
It's taking me places against my will
Time to see water (time to see water),
To keep washin' through (time to wash through)
And it took all the purpose, when you walked into
This life,
Oh, and it's worth all I go through
'Cause this life,
It's all that I am, all that I'm not
And it's worth all I go through,
'Cause this life came with you
