The Life

When I was younger My father told me these days won't last forever Drunk on the good times, I just left Now that I'm older And he's gonna hear his words so much better Wish I could live it once again But days turn into years, turn into dreams, turn into fears They keep on marching like the minutes to the moment we call here This is the life, the only one we know Hold on to it tight and learn to let it go This is the life, we run until we're old And when we close our eyes, the story will be told This is the life Oh, woah, oh, oh, oh All the good, the bad, the best You cannot tame its wildness This is the life Oh, woah, oh, oh, oh Wave your banner in the sky Sing these songs into the night This is the life So take the fears and failures And the nights of tears and laughter As the glass on TV shatters Every happy ever after This is the life, the only one we know Hold on to it tight and learn to let it go This is the life, we run until we're old And when we close our eyes, the story will be told This is the life Oh, woah, oh, oh, oh All the good, the bad, the best You cannot tame its wildness This is the life Oh, woah, oh, oh, oh This one's for real, it ain't no test Until they lay it down to rest This is the life Oh, woah, oh, oh, oh Wave your banner in the sky Sing these songs into the night This is the life Oh, woah, oh, oh, oh Na, na, na, na, na, na, na This is the life Bum, ba, da, da, da La, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da, da This is the life
