William Bowden - Note to Self (No. 81) lyrics

[Verse 1] I wrote this one with the windows open To let in some fresh air, or maybe I was half-hopin' I could fly away from it all, find a brighter day But I'm here to live my life and I'll find a way I got to thinking, "oh it ain't so bad I've got my friends and my brother and my mum and my dad" And I'm thankful for that, sorry I don't show it enough These are the people that I turn to when the going gets tough—what up I give thanks to my mates and crew Like the boys say together "we goin' make it through" And the same goes for you too, wherever you hail from The words may change, we're all singing the same song It's in the key of life, though we might forget the tune From time to time man we'll be alright Look at the metres gained, stand in today's sun You can't yet deal with tomorrows rain [Hook] See that's life kid, you just try and live it right kid Cause it'll pa** in a blink of an eyelid So get your smile on, throw your hands high Stay happy with the now till tomorrow arrives See that's life kid, you just try and live it right kid Cause it'll pa** in a blink of an eyelid So get your smile on, throw your hands high Stay happy with the now till tomorrow arrives [Verse 2] If these walls could talk, I'm not sure I'd want to listen It's a fine line between a game and a competition But, sometimes I sit back and look at how far we've come And it's hard to believe it only just begun Sometimes I wonder if you really understand The drive that I find inside your encouragement Sometimes I think about the days way back 'Fore the hurt crept in, tainted that household name Love for that very household's name And now that house holds painful memories for some Endless card games and road trip charades Remember the good times, I'm sure there's plenty more to come See I'm here now, ear-to-ear now Couldn't see through the storm, but horizon's clear now I just wanna leave you with these words No matter where each of us ends up on this Earth For what it's worth [Bridge] I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever I just want you all to know that I will love you all forever [Verse 3] Cause what's life? A journey of bus fares and train rides Long days, late nights, kickstands and ba**lines Hearts broken and tears shed Good times spent with dear friends From sunrise down to sunset There's still breath in my chest So I'mma keep walking the line, no I ain't done yet See I know it can be hard at times But you only get one shot, don't let it pa** you by So what if you haven't yet met the love of your life? So what if you've had your fair share of trouble and strife? What I'm saying when I'm rhyming this verse Is I realise we have such little time on this Earth So from my people down the front to the kid up the back Let me see you crack a smile if you feeling the track Let go of your sorrow and be glad you're alive Let's all be happy with the now till tomorrow will rise [Hook] See that's life kid, you just try and live it right kid Cause it'll pa** in a blink of an eyelid So get your smile on, throw your hands high Stay happy with the now till tomorrow arrives See that's life kid, you just try and live it right kid Cause it'll pa** in a blink of an eyelid So get your smile on, throw your hands high Stay happy with the now till tomorrow arrives [Outro] Talk to 'em Adit [Guitar Solo]
