Lyrics
[Verse 1]
My life is a grocery store line
A, "We'll be just fine"
Don't know how we survive, but we do
My life is an early spring snow
The last thread of hope
That I just keep hanging on to
[Chorus]
My life is pieces of paper that I'll get back to later
I'll write you a story, how I ended up here
Why the little things make us and how long it takes us
To figure out what matters the most
[Verse 2]
My life is a two dollar beer
Yeah, Friday nights here
With friends that I've known since high school
My life is an order to go
A rainy car ride back home
And someone you love to lay next to
[Chorus]
My life is pieces of paper that I'll get back to later
I'll write you a story, how I ended up here
And how the little things make us and how long it takes us
To figure out what matters the most
[Bridge]
Someday well I'll look back and wonder
Someday comes around quicker than they told you
Asking, "Did I do, what I was suppose to?"
In my life
[Instrumental]
Don't know why the little things make us and sometimes it takes us
Too damn long to figure out what matters the most...
My life is green grass through the snow
A sweet reckless hope
And, baby, I know what matters the most
