Life As We Know It

[Verse] Walk in the rain In a storm of yellow ashes Carry a flame To a house that floats in pastures This is life This is life [Verse 2] Fresh cut flowers Plastic stems and missing petals Seventeen hours In a box of broken metals This is life This is life [Chorus] This is life As we know it This is life As we know it This is life As we know it This is life This is life [Verse 3] Sit with Mother Wisdom While she pieces paper moon balloons Playing cards with Lady Luck She's blind to all her winning hand tattoos [Bridge] I thought I was at my end When my doctors all shook their heads Then Mother came And she said "you'll be just fine" [Chorus] This is life As we know it This is life As we know it This is life As we know it This is life This is life [Chorus] This is life As we know it This is life As we know it This is life As we know it This is life This is life (Instrumental Break) [Verse 4] The way I've grown Is strange Like blossoms out of season Painful I know Beautiful It gives me reason This is life This is life [Chorus] This is life (this is life) As we know it (we know it) This is life (this is life) As we know it (we know it) This is life (it's really here) As we know it (don't blow it) This is life This is life [Chorus] This is life (this is life) As we know it (we know it) This is life (this is life) As we know it (we know it) This is life (it's really here) As we know it (don't blow it) This is life This is life (Outro) This is life This is life This is life As we know it
