Life is Short

I used to keep a list of what was wrong Crossing nothing off, just adding more I told myself I'd rest when the list was empty But the list was never what I thought it was for

Problems don't come with a final page They just change their name and knock again But I've got a number on my own days And theirs don't seem to end

My life is short The problem, they're not going anywhere So I stopped waitin' for the clearing And started living right here My life is short I won't spend it keeping score

Some days, the weight will still be heavy I'm not asking it to disappear I'm just done postponing the living For a day that never gets here

I'll still lose things, I'll still feel behind That part of life was never in my hand But how I spend the hours I've got left Is still mine to plan

My life is short The problems, they're not going anywhere So I stopped waiting for the clearing And started living right here My life is short I won't spend it keeping score

Ah-ah Ah-ah

My life is short The problems, they're not going anywhere So I stopped waiting for the clearing And started living right here My life is short And today, that's enough for me
