Jeffrey Lewis--Life (lyrics)

Life is a story don't you doubt

Bad times give you something to talk about

The next time you feel you're all worn out

Remember life is a story

Don't you doubt

It only takes a day for everything to turn around

Love is a story they tell to you

But the way they tell it ain't quite true

You'll wake up one day and you're twenty-two

You'll know love was just a story they told to you

Love takes a lot of work like everything else you're gonna do

Friends are just the people that you can talk with

Some to talk about that some to talk about this

But everyone changes and forever is a myth

Friends are just the people that you can talk with

A lot of them'll leave but only a few you're gonna miss

School is the place where I did my growing

They fill your brain to overflowing

They tell you this is all stuff you need to be knowing

School is the place where I did my growing

Just when I got to like it it was time to be going

The world is the place where it all happens

They draw lines on it and call it a map

In between every line's a different flag flapping

The world is the place where it all happens

Six billion people all taking turns eating in a napkin

Animals are critters just like you and me

The only difference is that they don't worry

About things that they can't smell or see

Animals are critters just like you and me

So we buy pants and deodorants and claim not to be

Songs are just something to waste your time

I listen to yours and you listen to mine

Before we know it the day's gone by

Songs are just something to waste your time

So is everything else so do whatever makes you feel fine

God's just a story someone made up long ago

Before they had books and tv shows

I don't believe in him and I ain't afraid to say so

You know god's just a story someone made up long ago

But it's hard not to be superstitious despite all you know

Everyone's born and everyone dies

Everyone has a time and wonders why

The ocean's blue so is the sky

Everyone's born and everyone dies

The old lady cries, the new baby cries...or sighs

Kisses are weird but they can be fun

Instead of shaking hands it's like shaking tongues

I wish I got to do it more when I was young

Kisses are weird but they can be fun

I hate going months and months without kissing anyone

At this point it's been since uh...how many months

1 2 3 4 5 6...7

I think if kissing someone could make them pregnant

The last person I kissed would have had their kid by now

* laugh *

Dreams are weird but they can be fun too

They happen more often than kisses it's true

In some I was naked and in some I flew

Dreams are weird but they can be fun too

I wonder if you're dreaming about me when I'm dreaming about you

Now that you heard everything I said

There ain't nothing new inside your head

If you want, disregard it all go ahead

Now that you've heard everything I said

There are probably one or two things you coulda been doing instead

Life is a story don't you doubt

Bad times give you something to talk about

The next time you feel you're all worn out

Remember life is a story

Don't you doubt

It only takes a day for everything to turn around
