Looking At Life

Looking at life
Through the bottom of a glass
The painless way
To help time pass
More behind me than what lies ahead
Nothing to say that’s not been said
No fear of death when you're already dead
And just looking at life

Looking at life
Where I used to live it
Whatever you want
I’m unable to give it
Once I might have won your heart
Maybe back there at the start
Long before the whole thing fell apart
And left us looking at life

Looking at life
In its cold gray eyes
No sign of fear
Or compromise
I can’t see things the way I’m told to do
No right or wrong just points of view
And the young see the old as if it’s the new
When they’re looking at life

Looking at life
Looking back at the arc
I don't really care
If I left my mark
Through open fingers sand slips away
What is truly ours nobody can say
The desert talks it all back one day
You’re left looking at life

Looking at life
Through the bottom of a glass
The painless way
To help time pass
More behind me than what lies ahead
Nothing to say that’s not been said
No fear of death when you're already dead
And just looking at life

Just looking at life
Just looking at life
Looking at life
Looking at life
Looking at life
