Only Life - Siv Jakobsen

It’s so much to take he says

Singing softly, out of key

Down by the sea

In the evening breeze

The clouds are hanging low tonight

I can feel them float and soak

His skin and mind

His skin and mine

They say

That’s alright, it’s only life

It floats away with the morning light

That’s alright, it’s only life

It floats away with time

Drinks and drugs and caffeine

Runs wild through his frame

To fill a void beneath his skin

It’s a hollow float

A temporary soothing

They say

That’s alright, it’s only life

It floats away with the morning light

That’s alright, it’s only life

It floats away with time

But I can’t feel his breathing

I can’t feel his heart beating

They say

That’s alright, it’s only life

It floats away with the morning light

That’s alright, it’s only life

Only life

It floats away with time

We all float away with time
