This Life

Make a friend of who you are Things so everlasting take you far Try and get away, a reason to give up to you A love I never understood And now, two years later I'm reading of your wedding in my morning paper The future's getting brighter I need a cigarette and so I reach for my lighter And it's the same for you and it's the same for me But I'm not here alone now and I think you'd agree That if we'd met later, I'd never have seen this life Bad enough that I'm still here Lying through my teeth so loud and clear Have to get away, I'm walking streets excited, man Lying awake and dreaming plans And now, two years later I'm reading some reviews in my music paper The future's getting brighter I wonder when the days will turn from darker to lighter And it's the same for you and it's the same for me But I'm not here alone now and I think you'd agree That if we'd met later, I'd never have seen this life Make a friend of who you are Things so everlasting take you far The future's getting brighter I wonder when the days will turn from darker to lighter And it's the same for you and it's the same for me But I'm not here alone now and I think you'd agree That if we'd met later, I'd never have seen this life Well, it's the same for you and it's the same for me But I'm not here alone now and I think you'd agree That if we'd met later, I'd never have seen this life --- This Life - La Rocca
