Long Life Lyrics

What have I got to show for it

Seven years of parking tickets

I told you I was feeling over it

You laughed at that

I laughed right back

I said

I don't think I can cheer you up again

You said

That's fine

I had a laugh

It's worth it in the end

You've got to keep living this long life

You've got to watch your teeth get worse

You've got to keep living this long long life

But I'm glad we lived it first

What have I got to live for now

Fifty years of missing you

And the more I look around me now

I see I only gave myself to you

I gotta keep living this long life

I gotta watch my teeth get worse

Gotta keep living this long

Long life

Gonna write another verse

And what have I got to give you now

Fifty years of songs for you

I'll leave behind a trail of sounds

If it sounds like that

I'll sing it back

Your story lives within me now

A living thing

A song

I have to let it out

I'll swallow up the photographs

And learn to laugh

And love you back

You've gotta keep living this long life

You've gotta watch your teeth get worse

You've gotta keep living this long life

I'm glad we lived it first
