[Verse 1]
Well, they took out the downtown theater for a pub and a tower of flats
Say that for a couple grand, you can live where you watched your movies at
Or meet your girls for apps
And they took out the midtown diner for a place to wash your car
They say that for a couple bucks, it'll shine like the lights from the boulevard
Or the brightest of the stars
And they took out my father's house so they could widen up the road
The goin's still the same, but now, the gettin's not as slow
Like a bullet to the dome
Or maybe it's morе like a pile of slowly melting snow
[Chorus]
Thеy say that life goes on
Yeah, and I think they're right
Everything has its time
They say that when you're gone
Someone remembers you
Jesus, I hope that's true
[Verse 2]
So I moved into the country and I called myself a man
Told someone I loved them, but never let them in
And eventually ran
Then I registered for classes and I rented books to read
So I could criticize all of the things people believe
But never turn on me
Then I took my father's words, all his wisdom and his songs
Moved into the city and forgot every single one
Like night gives in to dawn
And now I roll around and wonder why I feel so numb
[Chorus]
They say that life goes on
Yeah, and I think they're right
Everything has its time
They say that when you're gone
Someone remembers you
Jesus, I hope that's true
And they say that life goes on
And I think they're right
Everything has its time
And they say that when you're gone
Someone remembers you
Jesus, I hope that's true
[Outro]
Oh, Jesus I hope that’s true
Sweet Jesus, I hope that’s true
Oh, Jesus, I hope
