On Love, On Life

So I sit here writing words in our old place They all come out as letters And I contemplate mistakes that we all make Start and the ending of eras When mystery fades We identify the problems But, they may not be problems after all [Pre-Chorus] Shock and dismay, they affect what we say We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway... [Chorus] And I can't let it bother me If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously? So I sit here carving words into the wall Words that remind me of just how I was I never felt as old and lonely as I felt When I was young and in love When mystery fades We identify the problems But, they may not be problems after all [Pre-Chorus] Shock and dismay, they affect what we say We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway... [Chorus] And I can't let it bother me If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously? Can't let it bother me If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously? Too seriously Too seriously...
