crazy life
Vassar Phil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It wakes the worries in my head
And I pour myself a bowl of Cheerios
I think about the good and bad
The happiness outweighs the sad
And the balance evens out the highs and lows
Today, there's lessons to be learned
There's progress to be made
[Chorus]
It's a crazy life, a crazy life
It keeps you on your toes
You never know what lies in store for you
Or where it's gonna go
Hellos, goodbyes, you laugh or cry
You're free to pick and choose, you win or lose
You're either wrong or right
Yeah, it's a crazy life
I think of lovers come and gone
And the people I've depended on
And I subtract the pleasure from the cost
Except for maybe two or three
They've drifted far away from me
Or maybe I'm the one who's gotten lost
But you can never go back home, no matter how you try
And once you've said, "Goodbye."
You've said it all and its over
[Chorus: x2]
Oh, yeah, it's a crazy life

I rise and stumble from the bed
I wake up and struggle to get out of bed
It wakes the worries in my head
Waking up triggers my anxious thoughts
And I pour myself a bowl of Cheerios
I make myself breakfast
I think about the good and bad
I reflect on the positive and negative aspects of my life
The happiness outweighs the sad
Overall, I feel happier than sad
And the balance evens out the highs and lows
The ups and downs of life balance each other
Today, there's lessons to be learned
I have opportunities to learn today
There's progress to be made
I have things I need to work on improving
Tomorrow, I can say, "I'm a little older and wiser."
Tomorrow I will have gained more knowledge and experience
It's a crazy life, a crazy life
Life is unpredictable and full of surprises
It keeps you on your toes
Life keeps you alert and aware
You never know what lies in store for you
The future is unknown
Or where it's gonna go
Life can take unexpected turns
Hellos, goodbyes, you laugh or cry
Life is filled with both happy and sad moments
You're free to pick and choose, you win or lose
You have the freedom to choose your path and outcomes are uncertain
You're either wrong or right
Actions can be judged as right or wrong
Yeah, it's a crazy life
Life is filled with ups and downs
I think of lovers come and gone
I remember past relationships
And the people I've depended on
I consider the people who have been important to me
And I subtract the pleasure from the cost
I weigh the benefits and drawbacks of those relationships
Except for maybe two or three
Only a couple of relationships have lasted
They've drifted far away from me
Those relationships have ended or are distant
Or maybe I'm the one who's gotten lost
Perhaps it is me who has lost touch with those people or moved on
But you can never go back home, no matter how you try
The past cannot be fully relived
And once you've said, "Goodbye."
Once a relationship ends, it is over
You've said it all and it's over
All that can be said has been said and the relationship has ended
It's a crazy life
Life is unpredictable
