Well let me check my disappointment book
Looks like I can pencil you in next week at this time
Why don't you give me one of your famous looks
And in exchange take anything you want of mine
You say you're leaving and I don't doubt it
Life's too short to feel good about it
Well Ethan has some good advice to bring
He says man you need direction like a flower needs the sun
If you don't wanna take part in anything
Then how can you expect to feel like all of anyone
I start to answer but I can't resolve it
Life is too short to get too involved in it
So I say do me a favour and stand behind this wall
Well I need to be certain that nothing gets through at all
And then I guess I lighten up a bit
And I darken in the outline of the picture in my mind
Forgiveness means one truly does forget
And all that came before us we must learn to put behind
And when we find love we must surround it
Because life is too long to try and live without it
