Life is like a telephone pole
And I'm a vehicle spinning out of control
Asking for a guardian angel or some kind of sign
To show me the meaning of life
And what all of this is for
(ohh)
One day is a blessing
The next day is a curse
One day I'm moving forward
The next I'm in reverse
But the daylight knows what the night forgets
Life as I know it now ain't life as I'll know it when
One day is a whisper
The next hits like a brick
One day it all feels certain
The next sinks like a ship
And the shadows hide where the sunlight ends
Life as I know it now ain't life as I'll know it when I can see it
Life is like a patch of black ice in the night
A bolt from the blue of the sky
A split in the road
Why am I afraid of an ending
I already know
One day is a blessing
The next day is a curse
One day I'm moving forward
The next I'm in reverse
But the daylight knows what the night forgets
Life as I know it now ain't life as I'll know it when
One day is a whisper
The next hits like a brick
One day it all feels certain
The next sinks like a ship
And the shadows hide where the sunlight ends
Life as I know it now ain't life as I'll know it when I can see it, oh
When I can see it
Life is like a patch of black ice in the night
A bolt from the blue of the sky
A telephone pole
Like twists and turns that point to an ending
Days turn to years and weave a tapestry
Stretched to the heavens and as far as I can see
All the shapes and colors blurred and undefined
Until I step away and watch them come to life
