If it's time to know where all things precious really stand
I can breathe some times, when I'm wailing off again
Well she said all the words that she thought she would've wanted to hear
Every time it's around my vision sinks a piece of me
She didn't want me to get this far
And I told her life goes on and on
On and on
That I need rest, things have places in my head
And I feel nothing matters and no one else
She didn't want me to get this far
And I told her life goes on and on
On and on
I've been 'round and around, there ain't no place much like here
In this town it's true that things were always very clear
She didn't want me to get this far
And I told her life goes on and on
On and on
Life goes on
