MOMENT OF LIFE
STORY
About the moment you notice the days have started bleeding into each other — and you realize how much of life slips by while you're going through the motions. A quiet, late-night kind of song. The kind that writes itself when you can't sleep.
LYRICS
I say hello, how was your day
She says like a thousand before
The same routine, day after day
And she smiles as she closes the door
She says she thinks a lot about her sanity
More and more I’m seeing less of me
And I don’t know exactly who I’m supposed to be
I want to be somebody else
Cause I am so tired of being myself
Now I’m aware of the time slipping by
And I don’t want to miss a moment of life
We lay awake, here in the dark
And we talk about running away
She says these days they’ve lost their blue
They’re just different shades of gray
She says she thinks a lot about her sanity
More and more I’m seeing less of me
And I don’t know exactly who I’m supposed to be
I want to be somebody else
Cause I am so tired of being myself
Acutely aware of the time slipping by
I don’t want to miss a moment of life
A moment of life
