Like one of those fireflies

Oh, it looks so good 'til it's in your hand

It's like one of those memories

Where you can't let go but you just can't stand

It's like one of those crazy dreams

And the permanent screens in the magazines

Saying, "Why'd I love?

All it does is break your heart"

One morning does it all add up?

Or am I just standing on the edge of crazy?

You're getting close to giving up

In a big old way, knocks you down to the other side every time

Love or lie, live or die

I, well, I guess that's life

Like one of those people

With the beautiful eyes and the perfect face

It's like one of those stories

Where the hero dies in the very last race

Like one of those endless cries

And the crazy lies of a hurting child

Saying, "Why did love have to hurt?

It broke my heart"

One morning does it all add up?

Or am I just standing on the edge of crazy?

You're getting close to giving up

In a big old way, knocks you down to the other side every time

Love or lie, live or die

I, well, I guess that's life

I always liked to think

That I was always brave enough

To try to master any push and shove

Well I guess I never qualified love

One morning does it all add up?

Or am I just standing on the edge of crazy?

You're getting close to giving up

In a big old way, knocks you down to the other side every time

Love or lie, live or die

I, well, I guess that's life

Oh, I guess that's life

Well, I guess that's life
