This Life

Out the corner of my eye
Drifting snowflakes in the middle of July
We could lie in bed till noon
All day breakfast at your favourite greasy spoon
We're taking potshots at the moon
Down here
Day by day
We passed the time away
All that winter
As the sunlight filtered in
We were only waiting for this life to begin
You can take a photograph
To freeze a moment, a reminder of the past
As the fog cloud disappears
Whispered wishes from your lips to God's ears
Yeah I can only hope he hears
Up there
Day by day
We passed the time away
All that summer
When we thought we couldn't win
We were only waiting for this life to begin
I don't have the answers
Like I thought I did before
No more
And day by day
We passed the time away
All that summer
With our patience wearing thin
Some might say
We wasted time away
Till that winter
When the sunshine flooded in
And we felt it on our skin
We were only waiting for this life to begin
