{Bridge 1}
Sun-tanned skin, a half-moon smile
A new shaved man, a newborn child
L.A seems to give her what she needs
A diamond ring and legal weed
{Chorus}
Your life is more like a rocking chair
You go back and forth, but you go nowhere
You keep on trying, so it’s not fair
Your life’s more like a rocking chair
Your life’s more like a rocking chair
{Verse 1}
Subway rides and big bright lights
Leave in the morning, come home at night
In New York City you do more than try
‘til your colors fade, and you’re getting dry
{Chorus}
Your life is more like a rocking chair
You go back and forth, but you go nowhere
You keep on trying, so it’s not fair
Your life’s more like a rocking chair
Your life’s more like a rocking chair
{Bridge 2}
Sun-tanned skin, a half-moon smile
A new shaved man, a newborn child
L.A seems to give her what she needs
A family, and stability
{Outro}
Our life was more like a rocking chair
We tried back and forth, but it went nowhere
When I’m dreaming, she’s still right there
My life’s more like a rocking chair
My life’s more like a rocking chair
My life’s more like a rocking chair
