Life is a Path - Your Smith

It seems to keep rainin', you feel waterlogged

You could fashion your sheets to the ends of your feet

Sail away in this fog

Hang out in Malta, shake some hands in Peru

Make a name and be rich

Drum up some kids in year or two

But where would that get you?

Can’t you see it, my love?

Life is a path that circles you back

To not having enough

So, why would you run, dear?

When all that you’ll find

You had what you need, but you just couldn’t see

What was already there the whole time

(Yep)

There the whole time

So now, look at you, darlin', you’re swimming in love

Taking for granted the pure adoration

From ones that you love

We sang on your birthday, took turns dancing with you

We laughed as you spun

Would you tack that all up for a life somewhere new?

But where would that get you?

Can’t you see it, my love?

Life is a path that circles you back

To not having enough

So, why would you run, dear?

When all that you’ll find

You had what you need, but you just couldn’t see

What was already there the whole time

I’ve been through a lifetime

Halfway to the right side

You’re saying your goodbyes

Before you’ve arrived

I’ve been through a lifetime

Goddamn, you’re over life

Quit saying your goodbyes

Before you’ve arrived

I’ve been through a lifetime

I’ve been through a lifetime

I’ve been through a lifetime
