Essence of Life Songtext
von Jenny Lewis

It′s not that far away from L.A. to the Bay
But I may as well be living on the moon
When I heard you say you're not feeling it in that way
It reinforced what I already knew

The essence of life is suffering
Lean into the light, but sparkle blue, ooh
We have the essence of life at our fingertips
When you say, "It ain′t right"
It burns when you leave, and it makes me wanna scream

I want you back, ha-hallelu
I want you back now that I can't have you


I'll be okay chilling with Yin and Yang
One brother′s green, one brother′s blue
But neither are you, ooh

The essence of life is ecstasy
Lean into the light, but sometimes you've gotta scream

I want you back, ha-hallelu
I want you back now that I can′t have you
I want you back, ha-hallelu
I want you back, hallelu

I want you back (I want you, hallelu)
I said I want you back (I want you, hallelu)
I want you back (I want you, hallelu)
I want you back (hallelu)
I want you back

Lean into the light, but sparkle blue, ooh
