This Life

Make a friend of who you are

things so everlasting take you far

try and get away

a reason to give up to you

a love i never understood

and now 2 years later

i'm reading of your wedding in my morning paper

the future's getting brighter

i need a cigarette and so i reach for my lighter

it's the same for you and it's the same for me

but i'm not here alone now and i think you'd agree

that if we'd met later, i'd never have seen this life

bad enough that i'm stil here

lying through my teeth so loud and clear

have to get away

i'm walking streets excited man, lying awake and dreaming plans

so now 2 years later, i'm reading some reviews in my music paper

ther future's getting brighter

i wonder when the days will turn from darker to lighter

it's the same for you and it's the same for me

but i'm not here alone now, and i think you'd agree

that if we'd met later, i'd never have seen this life
