Sometimes I'm a sinking ship, looking round to get grip
Out there's just nothing to hold onto any longer
And sometimes I'm an open book till you take a second look
You see the lines between the lines, and it's pretty cold there
It's taking its toll, letting it go, this is life, this is life
Some reservations get you down, they pick you off without a sound
And pieces of the puzzle, they come pretty slow now
I guess it's all in the wrist, you figure out what you've missed
You get the concept once you start the finger pointing
It's taking its toll, letting it go
This is life, this is life, this is life, this is life
Wasn't that a crazy dream, someone tell me what it means, what it means to me
Sometimes I'm a sinking ship, looking round to get a grip, but
There's just nothing to hold onto any longer
And some days it's more than I can take, these things are keeping me awake
And I get lost in all the pointless imperfections
It's taking its toll, letting it go
This is life, this is life, this is life, this is life
