Seventy Summers

[Verse 1] You only get so many summers Before they pass you by You only have this day Tomorrow hasn't arrived They say when you get older You'll have it figured out But life ain't about certainty It's learning to live with doubt [Pre-Chorus] When you're driving yourself crazy There's only you to blame It's not about directions It's choosing the right lane [Chorus] We get seventy-something summers On this beautiful merry-go-round No time to wait for the perfect day To work the whole thing out Yeah, the trick to life is symmetry A little tragedy, a little comedy If we're lucky, we get another spin So hold on, it's coming round again [Post-Chorus] Do-do-do, do-do-do Coming round again Do-do-do, do-do-do Seventy summers, my friend [Verse 2] Life ain't always pink champagne Or gray skies turning blue Sometimes the finest company Is the time you spend with you So throw away the worries And the memories that drag you down There's no prize for fretting When the world keeps spinning round [Pre-Chorus] When you're driving yourself crazy There's only you to blame It's not about directions It's choosing the right lane [Chorus] We get seventy-something summers On this beautiful merry-go-round No time to wait for the perfect day To work the whole thing out Yeah, the trick to life is symmetry A little tragedy, a little comedy If we're lucky, we get another spin So hold on, it's coming round again [Bridge] Falling down is easy Gravity does the rest But it takes a little backbone To get up at your best Our lives are campfire stories God tells His angels at night Some dreams disappear like smoke Some burn like stars in the sky [Breakdown] [Stripped back piano, bass, soft brushed drums] Order the champagne Wear the dress, make the plan Call the friend you miss Take the trip while you can [Final Chorus] We get seventy-something summers On this beautiful merry-go-round No time to wait for the perfect day To work the whole thing out Yeah, the trick to life is symmetry A little tragedy, a little comedy If we're lucky, we get another spin So hold on, it's coming round again [Final Post-Chorus] Do-do-do, do-do-do Coming round again Do-do-do, do-do-do Seventy summers, my friend [Outro] Seventy-something summers On this beautiful merry-go-round Order the champagne Wear the dress, make the plan If we're lucky, we get another spin And do it all again
