A Lifetime to Find Songtext
von Trampled by Turtles

Oh death, oh death
I was just getting dressed
The place is a mess
I was hoping you′d forget
But I can feel you in my chest
I can feel you in my chest

Oh yes, oh yes
Death never rests
I can see you've done your best
The problem is just this
It is too late for regrets
I am here to collect

It takes a lifetime to find
A life like the life you had in mind
It takes a lifetime to find
A life like the life you had in mind
Now you′re mine


Oh death, I confess
I should've known what to expect
But you're so hard to accept
Last time that I checked I was neck and neck
As happy as the next

Yes, yes, yes, you were blessed
Blessed in the past tense
But it′s too late now
To make it make sense
It is too late to pretend
This day won′t ever end

It takes a lifetime to find
A life like the life you had in mind
It takes a lifetime to find
A life like the life you had in mind
Now you're mine

So alright, today′s the day
And tonight is the night
There's no reason or no rhyme
It′s just time to go, goodbye
Oh, but why can't you try
To ease what′s on my poor mind?


Oh, let's not obsess
It's the best I can do
To help you see the light
And help the light to see you
It′s true there is a truth
There was you and only you ever knew

It takes a lifetime to find
A life like the life you had in mind
It takes a lifetime to find
A life like the life you had in mind
It takes a lifetime to find
A life like the life you had in mind
Now you′re mine
