The Other Life

This life is a dream

When I wake up I feel your face

smiling over at me.

And you tell me that you love me,

And I light up when you touch me and this life

is all that I need.

But heaven was just illusion

One hell a better conclusion

To this life with you.

So I stay out late at night

Tryin' to hock a room with my guitar

And sing my "poor me's" at another lonesome bar

Unrehearsed, diyin' of thirst

and cursed with the other life.

And sometimes I sit and look at old pictures

and air another unanswered prayer

But I won't look too long 'cause I'm just not that strong

so I pretend for a moment you still care.

And like these pictures that life would frame

There ain't a song that I would not trade

for one minute with you.

So I stay out late at night

Tryin' to hock a room with my guitar

And sing my "poor me's" at another lonesome bar

Unrehearsed, diyin' of thirst

and cursed with the other life.

Yeah the other life.

So I stay out late at night

Tryin' to hock a room with my guitar

And sing my "poor me's" at another lonesome bar

Unrehearsed, diyin' of thirst

and cursed with the other life.

Oh the other life

With the other life.
