Long Life

What have I got to show for it
Seven years of parking tickets
I told you I was feeling over it
You laughed at that
I laughed right back

I said
I don't think I can cheer you up again
You said
That's fine
I had a laugh
It's worth it in the end
You've got to keep living this long life
You've got to watch your teeth get worse
You've got to keep living this long long life
But I'm glad we lived it first

What have I got to live for now
Fifty years of missing you
And the more I look around me now
I see I only gave myself to you

I gotta keep living this long life
I gotta watch my teeth get worse
Gotta keep living this long
Long life
Gonna write another verse

And what have I got to give you now
Fifty years of songs for you
I'll leave behind a trail of sounds
If it sounds like that
I'll sing it back
Your story lives within me now
A living thing
A song
I have to let it out
I'll swallow up the photographs
And learn to laugh
And love you back

You've gotta keep living this long life
You've gotta watch your teeth get worse
You've gotta keep living this long life
I'm glad we lived it first
