Life Is a Path Songtext
von Your Smith

It seems to keep rainin′, you feel waterlogged
You could fashion your sheets to the ends of your feet
Sail away in this fog
Hang out in Malta, shake some hands in Peru
Make a name and be rich
Drum up some kids in a year or two

But where would that get you?
Can't you see it, my love?
Life is a path that circles you back
To not having enough
So, why would you run, dear?
When all that you′ll find
You had what you need, but you just couldn't see
What was already there the whole time
(Yep)
There the whole time


So now, look at you, darlin', you′re swimming in love
Taking for granted, the pure adoration
From ones that you love
We sang on your birthday, took turns dancing with you
We laughed as you spun
Would you tack that all up for a life somewhere new?

But where would that get you?
Can′t you see it, my love?
Life is a path that circles you back
To not having enough
So, why would you run, dear?
When all that you'll find (that you′ll find)
You had what you need, but you just couldn't see (you had what you need, yeah)
What was already there, the whole time


I′ve been through a lifetime
Halfway to the right side
You're saying your goodbyes
Before you′ve arrived
I've been through a lifetime
Goddamn, you're over life
Quit saying your goodbyes
Before you′ve arrived
Before you′ve arrived
I've been through a lifetime
I′ve been through a lifetime
I've been through a lifetime
