Price of Life

Price of Life

Banner read welcome back Class of 95'
As they swapped stories in that Holiday Inn around the punch bowl
Laughing at how fast 20 years had come and gone
And how in the world them wide eyed kids ever got so old
They said i guess it’s the price of life

Jimmy danced to INXS
With a hitch he got in the war
And Molly texted with her babysitter nearly all night
Skinny was fat, Pretty was scarred
Homecoming queens wore broken hearts
The class of tomorrow more like yesterday

That’s the price of doing life
Thats the cost of the carnival ride
If you leave the way you came in you’re doing it wrong
You signed your name on the dotted line
The moment you opened up your eyes
And that’s alright, Yeah that’s okay
One day at a time
Everyone’s got to pay
The price of life

They talked about Henry and wondered why he wasn’t there
Someone said he died free climbing off some mountain in Peru
They reminisced how way back when
He always lived with his head in the clouds
And they smiled when they realized he died that way too

That’s the price of doing life
Thats the cost of the carnival ride
If you leave the way you came in you’re doing it wrong
You signed your name on the dotted line
The moment you opened up your eyes
And that’s alright, Yeah that’s okay
One day at a time
Everyone’s got to pay
The price of life
One day at a time
Ain't it a privilege to pay
The price of life
