Lyrics
Oh the sun is shining far too bright
For it to still be night
Oh the air feels so cold, so cold and old
How can it be light?

Let's take a walk outside
See the world through teach others eyes
I wish I was your only one

I think you're beautiful but your hair is a mess
And your shoes are untied but that's what I love best

And I, I wish I was the one, your one and only sun and you looked at me that way
I wish for long lingering glances
Fairy tale romances every single day
And you look at me and say I'm your best friend every day
But I wish for something, wish for something more
Oh I love you like a friend, but lets not pretend how I wish for something, wish for something more

Now the grass is so green, but I can't see anything past your eyes
I'm fixated on your smile

This Is The Life Lyrics & Meanings: / Oh the wind whistles down / The cold dark street tonight / And the people they were dancing to the music vibe / And the boys chase the girls with the curls in their hair / While the shy tormented youth sit way over there / And the songs they get louder / Each one better than before / / And you're singing the songs / Thinking this is the life / And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size / Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? / Where you gonna sleep tonight? / / And you're singing the songs / Thinking this is the life / And you wake up in the morning and your head feels twice the size / Where you gonna go? Where you gonna go? / Where you gonna sleep tonight? / Where you gonna sleep tonight? / / So your heading down the road in your taxi for four / And you're waiting outside Jimmy's front door / But nobody's in and nobody's home 'til four / So you're sitting there with nothing to do / Talking about Robert Riger and his motley crew / And where yo
