Life Lyrics - Jeffrey Lewis

Life is a story don't you doubt 

Bad times give you something to talk about 

The next time you feel you're all worn out 

Remember life is a story 

Don't you doubt 

It only takes a day for everything to turn around 

Love is a story they tell to you 

But the way they tell it ain't quite true 

You'll wake up one day and you're twenty-two 

You know love is just a story that they tell to you 

Love takes a lot of work like everything else you're gonna do 

Friends are just the people that you can talk with 

Somebody to talk about that somebody to talk about this 

But everyone changes and forever is a myth 

Friends are just the people that you can talk with 

A lot of them'll leave but only a few you're gonna miss 

School is the place where I did my growing 

They fill your brain to overflowing 

They tell you this is all stuff you need to be knowing 

School is the place where I did my growing 

Just when I got to like it it was time to be going 

The world is the place where it all happens 

They draw lines on it and call it a map 

In between every line's a different flag flapping 

The world is the place where it all happens 

Six billion people all taking turns eating in a napkin 

Animals are critters just like you and me 

The only difference is that they don't worry 

About things that they can't smell or see 

Animals are critters just like you and me 

So we buy pants and deodorants and claim not to be 

Songs are just something to waste your time 

I listen to yours and you listen to mine 

Before we know it the day's gone by 

Songs are just something to waste your time 

So is everything else to do whatever makes you feel fine 

God's just a story someone made up long ago 

Before they had books and TV shows 

I don't believe in him and I ain't afraid to say so 

You know god's just a story someone made up long ago 

But it's hard not to be superstitious despite all you know 

Everyone's born and everyone dies 

Everyone has a time and wonders why 

The ocean's blue so is the sky 

Everyone's born and everyone dies 

The old lady cries, the new baby cries and sighs 

Kisses are weird but they can be fun 

Instead of shaking hands it's like shaking tongues 

I wish I got to do it more when I was young 

Kisses are weird but they can be fun 

I hate going once a month without kissing anyone 

At this point it's been since uh how many months 

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 

I think if kissing someone could make them pregnant 

The last person I kissed would have had their kid by now 

Dreams are weird but they can be fun too 

They happen more often than kisses it's true 

In some I was naked and in some I flew 

Dreams are weird but they can be fun too 

I wonder if you're dreaming about me when I'm dreaming about you 

Now that you heard everything I said 

There ain't nothing new inside your head 

If you want, disregard it all go ahead 

Now that you've heard everything I said 

There are probably one or two things you coulda been doing instead 

Life is a story don't you doubt 

Bad times give you something to talk about 

The next time you feel you're all worn out 

Remember life is a story 

Don't you doubt 

It only takes a day for everything to turn around
