[Intro]

I thought it was

And I thought it well

And maybe even

Time could tell

That all I know and all I've known, could

Fit into a little tiny box

And all of the world would laugh and lose their socks

[Verse 1]

How many things can one read 'til they feel they're not afraid of it all?

How many cases of words, am I being absurd?

Doing fine, I'm having a whale of a time, but if

The world could consume all the things that you knew

We'd be living the life, a contender for a wife

We'd be having a laugh

Wish I could make them laugh, mm-hm

In joke there comes the truth

I am not blinded by my youth

The five years had their time but you sit

In a lane much like mine

[Chorus]

For when all is said and done what's left is

Far beyond the problems that are listed

It may be easy, just believe me that

Our life holds a light no life has held before

[Verse 2]

Maybe I speak in a way

That makes it seem like I was born yesterday

But I'm not afraid at all

There'll be another who's seen every colour but it's all in the shade

Look at the life that we made

No word or phrase

Has the power to say what the tyres we share

It's far greater than rare, oh yeah

In dark, there comes the light

And we must try with all our might

To keep this thing alive

We've got that house by the bay

There's no place that I'd rather stay

I'll stay there right 'til the day

[Bridge]

Where you shall pass, I, too, shall pass, all things must pass

Like days they pass from one to another and another

I will love no other, no, no

I know now, I know now that yeah, that

Life is good

And I feel understood

Do you? If you don't let me know and now here comes the chorus

[Chorus]

For when all is said and done what's left is

Far beyond the problems that are listed

It may be easy, just baby believe me that

Our life

[Outro]

If time was on my side

I would ask him to return

To a moment

Which holds for us a great concern

Which moment to pick?

Which time to select?

There are so many chances steeped in regret

No matter which one you choose

Baby, you're always gonna lose

Well, that's what the demons say

I never liked those guys anyway
