lyrics

Well Eddie’s a friend of mine
His tired grey eyes they could teach you how to see
Living in a broke down, dead end nine to five
He traded his right to be free
If you asked him he’d tell you
That just ain’t where he wants to be
Cause you can make all the money
But it don’t change the things they can’t see

Cause you can’t keep living
Waiting for life to begin
Life’s for the living
So don't be afraid to jump in
And in the end you’ll be glad
You found the good in the bad

I turned on the news today
To see what was going on
From missing kids, to politics
It ain’t hard to see things are going wrong
Cause it can get so damn hard to feel
When everyone around you is lost
But to love somebody casually
Is like letting a dream turn to rust

Cause you can’t keep living
Waiting for life to begin
Life’s for the living
So don't be afraid to jump in
And in the end you’ll be glad
There was more good than bad

Now I ain’t but saying
That your days will be nothing but gold
Cause like this song that I’m singing
Life’s a collection of many highs and many lows
There ain’t no telling just what the future holds
I guess we’ll never know
But when it’s all said and done
Will you have the heart to let go?
