This Life

Hey
Hey hey, hey, eh eh eyy
Hey
Hey hey, hey, eh eh eyy

Let me get straight to it
I’ve bit off more than I could chew
I felt the sting and slap of failure missed my due
Like a hard knife, cutting through a slice
Of ego of ambition yeah put me off my mission
I’ve been wandering alleys in a dirty shirt
Taking this and that ’cause I had so much hurt
I’m not plying you with liquor
For your tongue to get a flicker
I just need to tell my story
If you’re drunk I’ll get done quicker

Chorus:
Hey hey gotta keep the hope up
Gotta keep your eye on the prize
Hey-hey gotta keep the highs up
I’m an optimist of the most dangerous kind
There is more to this life
I must believe there is more to this life
There is more to this life
I must believe that there is more to this life

Let me get straight to it
There’s more explaining I could do
But I am here just for diversion
As are you
Don’t mean to jump the gun
But we could have some fun
There’s little sense in dishing
Since I’ve noticed you’re not listening

I’m feeling fairly lucky
I’ve been surfing shadows of success in my dreams
And yes I know my guard’s down
But I don’t mind if you, see

Chorus:
Hey hey gotta keep the hope up
Gotta keep your eye on the prize
Hey-hey gotta keep the highs up
I’m an optimist of the most dangerous kind
There is more to this life
I must believe there is more to this life
There is more to this life
I must believe that there is more to this life

This life, this life, this life...
This life, this life, this life...

Hey
Hey hey, hey, eh eh eyy
Hey
Hey hey, hey, eh eh eyy

There is more to this life
I must believe that there is more to this life
There is more to this life
I must believe that there is more to this life
