Thomas Schmidt - This Life lyrics

Hey Hey hey, hey, eh eh eyy Hey Hey hey, hey, eh eh eyy Let me get straight to it I've bit off more than I could chew I felt the sting and slap of failure missed my due Like a hard knife, cutting through a slice Of ego of ambition yeah put me off my mission I've been wandering alleys in a dirty shirt Taking this and that 'cause I had so much hurt I'm not plying you with liquor For your tongue to get a flicker I just need to tell my story If you're drunk I'll get done quicker Chorus: Hey hey gotta keep the hope up Gotta keep your eye on the prize Hey-hey gotta keep the highs up I'm an optimist of the most dangerous kind There is more to this life I must believe there is more to this life There is more to this life I must believe that there is more to this life Let me get straight to it There's more explaining I could do But I am here just for diversion As are you Don't mean to jump the gun But we could have some fun There's little sense in dishing Since I've noticed you're not listening I'm feeling fairly lucky I've been surfing shadows of success in my dreams And yes I know my guard's down But I don't mind if you, see Chorus: Hey hey gotta keep the hope up Gotta keep your eye on the prize Hey-hey gotta keep the highs up I'm an optimist of the most dangerous kind There is more to this life I must believe there is more to this life There is more to this life I must believe that there is more to this life This life, this life, this life... This life, this life, this life... Hey Hey hey, hey, eh eh eyy Hey Hey hey, hey, eh eh eyy There is more to this life I must believe that there is more to this life There is more to this life I must believe that there is more to this life
