According To Play Lyrics - Life Imitating Life - Augustana

It's like life imitating life, 

Constantly repeating history until it's blind 

It's like time only speaks in rhymes 

Repeating repetition til you're lost inside your mind 

Was I a terminal distraction? 

Or just a chemical reaction? 

Or is it chance or is it fate? 

Was I just standing in your way? 

I find it hard to understand 

How you love this ordinary man 

And so extraordinarily 

Maybe it's all unraveling according to plan 

It's like life imitating life 

Constantly revolving round the tips of sharpened knives 

It's like time draws a crooked line 

Repeating shapes and patterns til it just can't be defined 

Is it a critical invention? 

Or just fulfilling it's intention? 

Or is it chance or is it fate? 

Or are we simply meant to wait? 

I find it hard to understand 

Yeah that it's all left up to chance 

And so arbitrarily 

But if she sees something in me 

It must be life imitating life 

Manipulating varying degrees of wrong and right 

I guess it might just possibly 

May be all unraveling according to plan
