Life Is a Path

[Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Outro] 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
