Life On Earth

The first snow
The first winter of my life
I was told it was the height of me
The first dance
Well, the first one that counted
Felt like my blood was built from crackling lights
Oh this ancient wildness
That we don't understand
The first sound of a heartbeat
To riot roaring on
This is not love you've had before
This is something else
This is something else
This is not the same as other days
This is something else
This is something else
Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
The first light
The first light on the silent shore
Just the ships that anchor me and you
The way home
This is always the way home
So you can rip that map to shreds, my dear
But all we ever wanted
See miles and miles from here
In the first days in a strange new land
We could be setters
This is not love you've had before
This is something else
This is something else
This is not the same as other days
This is something else
This is something else
Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me
This is life on earth
It's just life on earth
