Lyrics

A Life Like This

You, you, you

"Michicant," did you ever dream of a life like this?
You're like a window that's always open
That keeps us hoping for ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ooh, I was in a dream whilst
Life was happening to ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Woo, I was in a dream whilst
Life was happening to me

When the design is done
I'll adjust to you
Whenever worry comes
I'll adjust to you
All of my escapes
Drinking in case I drew
When the design is done
I'll adjust to you
You, you, you

I listen to you over and over again
I hear you like a metaphor
You're slowly coming out to malt through me
You're like a window that keeps opening
I'm hoping that it stays the same and
Saturn won't return to me

Ooh, I was in a dream whilst
Life was happening to me
I was in a dream whilst
Life was happening to me

When the design is done
I'll adjust to you
Whenever worry comes
I'll adjust to you
All of my escapes
Drinking in case I drew
When the design is done
I'll adjust to you
You, you, you
