Frank Turner - Little Life lyrics
[Frank Turner - Little Life lyrics]
When they closed down the restaurants
Boarded up the bars
We moved out of the city
Bought a second hand car
Tried to figure out standing still, for
The first time in a long, long time
And cut back on the sleeping
Pills, and the overkill, and the over time
I guess that this little life
Is going to have to do
It’s only a little life
Mostly just me and you
We’re trying out a little life
To see where it leads maybe a little life
Is all that we need
Now we live on a quiet street
Half an hour from the train station
Getting used to things we didn’t
Choose, and the local news, new frustrations
Finding ways to work with them
And to make new friends
Make it work out for the best
And let go of the life we left
And the bitterness and the
Tension in my chest
I guess that this little life
Is going to have to do
It’s only a little life
Mostly just me and you
We’re trying out a little life
To see where it leads maybe a little life
Is all that we need
And every day I try to make sure I
Can bring you a little surprise
To help you appreciate our little fate:
Some oyster shells I found down on the beach
Where I heard the mermaids singing
Each to each and to you and me
A song about anxiety
Getting washed away by the sea
I made a promise I intend to keep:
A promise of a little life just me and you
It’s only a little life
But, I think it will do
Let’s find love in our little life
And see where it leads maybe a little life
Is all that we need
Boarded up the bars
We moved out of the city
Bought a second hand car
Tried to figure out standing still, for
The first time in a long, long time
And cut back on the sleeping
Pills, and the overkill, and the over time
I guess that this little life
Is going to have to do
It’s only a little life
Mostly just me and you
We’re trying out a little life
To see where it leads maybe a little life
Is all that we need
Now we live on a quiet street
Half an hour from the train station
Getting used to things we didn’t
Choose, and the local news, new frustrations
Finding ways to work with them
And to make new friends
Make it work out for the best
And let go of the life we left
And the bitterness and the
Tension in my chest
I guess that this little life
Is going to have to do
It’s only a little life
Mostly just me and you
We’re trying out a little life
To see where it leads maybe a little life
Is all that we need
And every day I try to make sure I
Can bring you a little surprise
To help you appreciate our little fate:
Some oyster shells I found down on the beach
Where I heard the mermaids singing
Each to each and to you and me
A song about anxiety
Getting washed away by the sea
I made a promise I intend to keep:
A promise of a little life just me and you
It’s only a little life
But, I think it will do
Let’s find love in our little life
And see where it leads maybe a little life
Is all that we need
