Lifetime
Shapeshifter Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's only taken us our lifetime
To get right here, right now
We've already wasted far too much time
We got to make up for what we missed

They've already delayed most of our our day
Too funny, all the games they play
We've already wasted far too much time

Got to make up for what we missed

Oh, hey, I must say
With you, anything is possible
Oh, hey, I must say
With you, everything falls right into place

Oh, hey, I must say
With you, anything is possible
Oh, hey, I must say
With you, everything just falls right into place

It's only taken, taken us our lifetime
Just to get right here, right now
We've already wasted far too much time
We got to make up for what we missed

They've already delayed most of our our day
Too funny, all the things they they say
We've already wasted far too much time
We got to make up for what we missed

Oh, hey, I must say
With you, anything is possible
Oh, hey, I must say
With you, everything just falls right into place

Oh, hey, I must say
With you anything is possible
Oh, hey, I must say
With you, everything just falls right into place

Everything is possible
Everything just falls right into place

Everything is possible
Everything just falls right into place
