My life is a grocery store line, A "we'll be just fine" Don't know how we survived, but we did My life is an early spring snow, The last thread of hope That I just keep hanging on to. My life is pieces of paper that I"ll get back to later I'll write you a story of how I ended up here How the little things make us And how long it takes us to figure out what matters the most. My life is a two dollar beer, Yeah, friday nights here, With friends that I've known since high school My life is an order to go A rainy car ride back home And someone you love to lay next to My life is pieces of paper That i'll get back to later I'll write you a story of how i ended up here And how the little things make us And how long it takes us to figure out what matters the most Someday well I'll look back and wonder Someday it comes around a little quicker than they told you Asking did i do what i was supposed to in my life Don't know why the little things make us And sometimes it takes us too damn long to figure out what matters the most My life is green grass through the snow A sweet reckless hope And baby i know what matters the most.
