If it's time to know where all things precious really stand
I can breathe some times, when I'm wailing off again
Well she said all the words that she thought she would've wanted to hear
Everytime it's around my vision sinks a piece of me

She didn't want me to get this far
And I told her life goes on and on

On and on
That I need rest, things have places in my head
And I feel nothing matters and no one else

She didn't want me to get this far
And I told her life goes on and on

On and on
I've been 'round and around, there ain't no place much like here
In this town it's true that things were always very clear

She didn't want me to get this far
And I told her life goes on and on

On and on
Life goes on
