You'd think by now I'd have figured it out At least just a little bit but I get turned around Headed the wrong way, down a one way And I always thought I'd see you again some day Is your life as hard for you as mine is for me? For your sake I hope you're laughing in the sun But I don't think I'm the only one waiting for the good to shine And it feels like I'm down to life number nine Life number nine You'd think by now I'd be better somehow At least just a little bit but when the sun goes down I see the old familiar places And I can't help looking into the crowd for your face Is your life as hard for you as mine is for me? For your sake I hope you're laughing in the sun But I don't think I'm the only one waiting for the good to shine And it feels like I'm down to life number nine Every time I see the sun go down I'm lost and I'm so damn lonely And I know that I'm down to number nine I'm headed the wrong way, down a one way And I always thought I'd see you again some day Is your life as hard for you as mine is for me? For your sake I hope you're laughing in the sun But I don't think I'm the only one waiting for the good to shine And it feels like I'm down to life number nine Life number nine, life number nine, life number nine Life number nine, life number nine, life number nine
