Play It as It Lays

So many lows and highs
The ups and downs
Of which life is comprised
It's not always fun
But the rainy days are as
Perfect as the sunny ones
I love them both
Like two halves that make a whole
It's a beautiful composite
Its not so sad
When you learn to
Take the good with the bad
Since it begun this life
Has always been
A sweet and sour one
It takes both sides
Like the day turns into night
Then back to day again

I can't help but tune you out
Because you emphasize the pain
No one owes you anything
All we're promised is today
gotta play it as it lays

I've come through pain
To find the happiness of brighter days
Deep inside I believe its
All about embracing the totality
Life's good but it
Can also hurt you quite a bit
There's just no way around it

I can't help but tune you out
Because you emphasize the pain
No one owes you anything
All we're promised is today
gotta play it as it lays

It doesn't take a genius to see
That this is bittersweet and
After all the future isn't guaranteed

It takes both sides
Like the day turns into night
Then back to day again

I can't help but tune you out
Because you emphasize the pain
No one owes you anything
All we're promised is today
gotta play it as it lays
