Horrorshow - Note to Self (No. 81) lyrics

I wrote this one with the windows open
To let in some fresh air
Or maybe I was half-hopin'
I could fly away from it all
Find a brighter day
But, I'm here to live my life
And I'll find a way
I got to thinking, you know it ain't so bad
I've got my friends and my brother
And my Mum and my Dad
And I'm thankful for that
Sorry I don't show it enough
These are the people that I turn
To when the going gets tough
What up? I give thanks to my mates and crew
Like the boys say "together we
Gon' make it through"
And the same goes for you too
Wherever you hail from the words may change
We're all singing the same song
It's in the key of life


Though we might forget the tune
From time to time man, we'll be all right
Look at the metres gained
Stand in today's sun
You can't yet deal with tomorrow's rain

See that's life kid
And we just tryna live it right kid
'Cause it'll pass in the blink of an eyelid
So get your smile on, throw your hands high
Stay happy with the now
Till tomorrow arrives see that's life kid
And we just tryna live it right kid
'Cause it'll pass in the blink of an eyelid
So get your smile on, throw your hands high
Stay happy with the now, till tomorrow arrive

If these walls could talk
I'm not sure I'd want to listen
It's a fine line between a
Game and a competition, but
Sometimes I sit back and look
At how far we've come
And it's hard to believe, it only just begun
Sometimes I wonder if you really understand
The drive that I find
Inside your encouragement
Sometimes I think about the days way back
'Fore the hurt crept in
Tainted that household name
Love that very household's name
But now that house holds
Painful memories for some
Endless card games and road trip charades
Remember the good times
I'm sure there's plenty more to come
See I'm here now, ear-to-ear now
Couldn't see through the storm
But horizon's clear now
I just wanna leave you with these words
No matter where each of us
Ends up on this Earth, for what it's worth

I just want you all to know that
I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that
I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that
I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that
I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that
I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that
I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that
I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that
I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that
I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that
I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that
I will love you all forever
I just want you all to know that
I will love you all forever

'Cause what's life but a journey of
Bus fares and train rides
Long days, late nights, kicks
Snares and basslines
Hearts broken and tears shed
Good times spent with dear friends
From sunrise down to sunset
There's still breath in my chest
So I'ma keep walking the line, no
I ain't done yet
See I know it can be hard at times
But, you only get one shot
Don't let it pass you by
So what if you haven't yet met
The love of your life?
So what if you've had your fair
Share of trouble and strife?
What I'm saying when I'm rhyming this verse
Is I realised we have such
Little time on this Earth
So from my people down the front
To the kid up the back
Let me see you crack a smile
If you feeling the track
Let go of your sorrow and
Be glad you're alive
Let's all be happy with the now
Till tomorrow arrives

See that's life kid
And we just tryna live it right kid
'Cause it'll pass in the blink of an eyelid
So get your smile on, throw your hands high
Stay happy with the now
Till tomorrow arrives see that's life kid
And we just tryna live it right kid
'Cause it'll pass in the blink of an eyelid
So get your smile on, throw your hands high
Stay happy with the now
Till tomorrow arrives

Talk to 'em, Adit
