Life Gets in the Way

Like a moth to an old flame, the frost to a shiver

As a lover sings, a letdown delivers

Rose-tinted hearts attack

You go there once and you don't come back boy

The list goes on life's in my way

Maybe I'm ungrateful, I reap just what I sow

You know that once my aim was true for you

Till sunshine turned to snow

And I can't shake the feeling

And the house is always freezing so I

Step back (step up)

Hold tight (hold on)

Burst into the night

And we can hold hands

And we could send letters

And I'll always fall short

And you could do much better if I had some money

D'ya think that it would change?

Surprised at just how long it took

But life gets in the way, gets in the way

You just sit pretty and I'll do the talking

The rest ran riot whilst I was walking

Happiness is an inside job

Stand on your own or you blend with the mob, boy

The list goes on life's in my way

Maybe I'm just selfish

Or maybe I've got it sussed

Cos I know all your twenty pantomimes

And I'd rather fold than push

And I kept all my seventeen

And I cashed out for a flush so I'll

Step back (step up)

Hold tight (hold on)

I'll put up a fight

And we can hold hands

And we could send letters

And I'll always fall short

And you could do much better if I had some money

D'ya think that it would change?

Surprised at just how long it took

But life gets in the way, gets in the way

We can hold hands

And we could send letters

And I'll always fall short

And you could do much better if I had some money

D'ya think that it would change?

Surprised at just how long it took

But life gets in the way, gets in the way
