She carries me through days of apathy
She washes over me
She saved my life in a manner of speaking
When she gave me back the power to believe

Here it comes, here comes another day
Another decision on the way
Well here it comes, here comes a covered display
of preferences to make
Well here it comes, here comes a knock on the door
Open it for an opportunity
Well here it comes, here comes another day
for memories to be made

Eyes wide open
Eyes wide open all the time

'n there it was, it was a perfect take
and were you asleep or awake
There it was, it was a perfect time
to speak your mind
'n there it was, it was a chance of a lifetime
It flew right by and what did you do?
Well there it was, it was another day
for memories to be made

Eyes wide open
Eyes wide open all the time
I've got my eyes wide open
Eyes wide open all the time
Because you never know
What you might see...

Six billion ants
Crawling on a plate
Six billion ants
Crawling on a plate
None of them give back
As much as they take
Six billion ants
Crawling on a plate

Doesn't mean you should
Just because you can
It doesn't mean you should
Just because you can
Like Abraham and Ishmael
Fighting over sand
It doesn't mean you should
Just because you can

That is a fact of life
That is a fact of life

Now some of us build
And some of us teach
Some of us build
Some of us teach
And some of us kill
What some of us eat

That is a fact of life
That is a fact of life

Nobody knows
What happens when you die
Nobody knows
What happens when you die
Believe what you want
It doesn't mean you're right

That is a fact of life
That is a fact of life

She carries me through days of apathy
She washes over me
She saved my life in a manner of speaking
When she gave me back the power to believe

And when I have some words
This is the way I'll sing
Through a distortion box
To make them menacing

Yeah, then I'm gonna have to write a chorus
We're gonna need to have a chorus
And this seems to be as good as any other place to sing it till I'm blue in the face

And for a second verse
Of terse economy
I'll brew another pot
Of ambiguity

Then I'm gonna have to write a chorus
We're gonna need to have a chorus
And this seems to be as good as any other place to sing it till I'm blue in the face
Yes, we're gonna need to have a chorus
I'm gonna have to write a chorus
And this seems to be as good as any other place to sing it till I'm blue in the face

Happy with what you have to be happy with
you have to be happy with what you have
to be happy with you have to be happy with what you have,
happy with what you have to be happy with
you have to be happy with what you have
to be happy with what you have you have to be happy with what you have to happy with

Then I guess I'll repeat the chorus!
We're gonna repeat the chorus!
I guess I'll repeat the chorus!
We're gonna repeat the chorus!
Then I guess I'll repeat the chorus!
We're gonna repeat the chorus!
I guess I'll repeat the chorus!
We're gonna repeat the chorus!

Happy with what you have to be happy with
you have to be happy with what you have
to be happy with you have to be happy with what you have,
happy with what you have to be happy with
you have to be happy with what you have
to be happy with what you have you have to be happy with what you have to happy with

She carries me...
She saved my life...

She carries me through days of apathy
She washes over me
She saved my life in a manner of speaking
When she gave me back the power to believe
