Left in My Life Songtext
von Mikel Rouse

I wouldn′t count on it
I wouldn't bet on it
I wouldn′t count on it
I wouldn't bet on it

See, let me talk about me
And a garden degree where you play for a fee
And be what I want you to be
And if the garden variety's not for me
You′re free, like palm to palm
As if I promise to remain calm
And now the hope′s all gone
Gone gone and good deal
It's a lesson of life
And if a lesson is real

It′s so long gone, it's so long gone
As benefits belong, it′s so long gone


There's probably still moments
Left in my life
There′s probably still moments
Left in my life

Take breaths and I'm walking in line for a shakedown
If I caught the good life would it be above ground?
Twice dismissed belonging at this time of turning
Breaking bread and baseball caps of higher learning

Forced to press the notion things are really changing
Mole hills moving mountains candid rearranging
Barking at the front door intercepting angels
Out and out redemption resting for a spell

Even as I'm speaking with the right to know
Commonplace occurrence believing where you go

Body at rest insighting overnight guest
Or better, better at last, I mean the last that I checked
I got a rate that I like, I mean I didn′t think twice
And hey, we all gotta eat and by the way it′s my treat
And if you think it's a con just check the road that I′m on
It's like, examine and see, or like believing in me
And when belief is suspended for promises made
And what′s left in my life is what's left in the shade
I′m still waiting to become the man that I made


React to a false decline, born under a neon sign
A commonplace to do, when you fall through
