It's Only Life

[Verse 1]

Dyed in the wool

You've been cornered by your natural desire

You wanna hop along with the giddy throng through life

But how will you learn to steer

When you're grinding all your gears?

You've been talking for hours

You say, "Time will wash every tower to the sea"

And now you've got this worry in your heart

[Pre-Chorus]

Well I guess it's only life, it's only natural

We all spend a little while going down the rabbit hole

And the things they taught you

They're lining up to haunt you

You got your back against the wall

Call you on the telephone

Won't you pick up the receiver?

[Chorus]

I've been down the very road you're walking now

It doesn't have to be so dark and lonesome

Takes a while but we can figure this thing out

And turn it back around

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]

You used to be such a lion

Before you got into all this crying on my lap

Back when you thought I'd never get this far

[Pre-Chorus]

But did you really think I'd shut an open door?

The future's calling and I'ma answer her

The wheel's in motion, I never drank your potion

And I know it breaks your heart

Open up your parachute

Something's gotta stop the free-fall

[Chorus]

I've been down the very road you're walking now

It doesn't have to be so dark and lonesome

Takes a while but we can figure this thing out

And turn it back around
