The Lumineers - This Is Life (Merry Christmas) lyrics

[Verse 1] Things can get so bad I know But things could always be worse There's a blessing tucked inside of each and every curse You could be a selfish fool And somehow not be selfish enough Your glass could be half full But you have already drank way too much [Chorus] This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas This is life, this is life [Verse 2] Oh, how humor You burst the bubble of all our hidden pain Oh, how humor You clever mother, you're keeping everybody sane Oh, how laughter You make us ba*tards feel some kind of joy Like a golden token We find we're not broken, like some cheap little toy [Chorus] This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas [Verse 3] Time is so fleeting I hope that you're reading everything in between the lines Life can have meaning If you keep dreaming all the way through the days and the nights I saw you cry a little, in the middle of a story you once told You're a thing of beauty, and we're all rooting for you not to fold [Chorus} This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas [Outro] This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas This is life, this is life, Merry Christmas
