Complicated Monkeys - The Life That Got Away Lyrics

Gives you time to stare into
The face of immortality
Reminds you that you are not blind
Even if you were, you could still see that
You are nothing more than a speck of dust
A flicker in the nighttime sky
No better than the rest of us
Nothing special, no charmed life

Gives you time to reflect back on
All the things that you have said and done
Reminds you that you still have time
To put it back and make it right
You are nothing more than a grain of sand
Washed away with the tides
Just a glimmer or a glance
A tiny twinkle in my eye

Let me tell you all about the life that got away

Let me tell you all about the life that got away

Gives you time to plot your next move
Will you go, or will you stay?
And if you stick around then
Will it be a while or just a day?
We are all nothing more than drops of
Water in the ocean spray
Just a space in time
That is so sure to slowly fade away

Let me tell you all about the life that got away
