C'est La Vie

One, two, three, four As a child The paint never dried I would change and rearrange things all the time I was free Free to be anybody And now I'm caught inside an old machine And I wanna feel alright Without takin' any medicine It's like I've been asleep for a while And now I'm runnin' out of dreams, awaken Some I've worn out, grown out of Torn down and thrown out, 'cause They keep gettin' me in trouble Some are hard to explain Some I tried to maintain But I know, yeah, I know They keep gettin' me in trouble They keep gettin' me in trouble They keep gettin' me in trouble Like a fish drowning in water With my fins taped to my sides I've been floatin' upside down And I know that I ought to But I won't start to swim until the water boils And I've lost the joy Some I've worn out, grown out of Torn down and thrown out, 'cause They keep gettin' me in trouble Some are hard to explain Some I tried to maintain But I know They keep gettin' me in trouble C'est la vie, my friend I'm cleanin' out my closet Some I'll keep but Some I'm tossin' That's alright, you know Gotta learn to let things go Say goodbye, say hello Every road I have to walk All the bridges I must cross Every ocean I can swim And all the birds I have to watch Every step I have to take I'd take them all Even if I fall Even if I fall, fall, fall C'est la vie, my friend I'm cleanin' out my closet Some I'll keep but Some I'm tossin' That's alright, you know Gotta learn to let things go Say goodbye, say hello C'est la vie, my friend I'm cleanin' out my closet Some I'll keep but Some I'm tossin' That's alright, you know Gotta learn to let things go Say goodbye, say hello I'm cleanin' out my closet Some I'll keep but Some I'm tossin' That's alright, you know Gotta learn to let things go Say goodbye, say hello
