Tom Odell
3:42The little boy at the airport waving his father goodbye The lover in the bedroom saying, "I'm sorry I lied" The small plastic window fills with iridescent light A devil and an angel in their eternal fight What a wonderful life What a wonderful life What a wonderful life What a wonderful life The spider in the kitchen tryna stay out of the cold The pale girl in the bathroom, wearing her grandmother's gold The church bells are ringing, somebody must have died The eyes of the animal frozen in the headlights They're saying, oh, what a wonderful life What a wonderful life What a wonderful life What a wonderful life The skinhead in the handcuffs blowing his mother a kiss The student at the protest wiping the blood off her lips The fireworks exploding, the clock strikes midnight And I'm sat here watching, gripping the wheel so tight What a wonderful life (what a wonderful life) What a wonderful life (what a wonderful life) What a wonderful life (what a wonderful life) What a wonderful life, oh St. Peter's calling St. Peter's calling St. Peter's calling And I don't wanna die, die No, no, I don't wanna die
