Life In Detail Lyrics - Robert Palmer

Who can tell just what might happen? 

Sometimes you're gonna feel a shock 

You got it covered, yeah, you think you're laughin' 

Then it hits you like a ton of rock 

You see your life in detail 

such a close-up view 

from another angle 

like another you 

It's that feelin' again 

do you remember when 

you were so convinced 

you knew everything 

You thought that happiness was automatic 

You were livin' in the meantime

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

It's that feelin' again 

do you remember when 

you had it all sown-up 

And then a collar ripped 

like a life in detail 

such a close-up view 

like a mirror image 

of another you 

[Instrumental interlude] 

You were optimistic, energetic 

Now you wonder why you feel so numb 

like you're under anaesthetic 

makes you wonder where you're comin' from 

It's like the feelin' again 

do you remember when 

you were so convinced 

you knew everything 

Photos 

like a life in detail 

such a close-up view 

from another angle 

like another you
