verse 1 My life is a grocery store line A “We’ll be just fine” Don’t know how we survive, but we do verse 2 My life is an early spring snow The last thread of hope That I just keep hanging onto My life is pieces of paper that I’ll get back to later I’ll write you a story, how I ended up here Why the little things make us and how long it takes us To figure out what matters the most verse 3 My life is a two dollar beer With Friday nights here With friends that I’ve known since high school verse 4 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, how I ended up here Why the little things make us and how long it takes us To figure out what matters the most Bridge 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 do” In my life Instrumental: Don’t know why the little things make us and sometimes it takes us Too damn long to figure out what matters the most Verse 5 My life is green grass through the snow A sweet reckless hope And baby, I know what matters the most
