I’m sure if you’ve be living at all in the last two years you’ve heard this excellent song by Five for Fighting. I love the lyrics. It is amazing, and scary, how he manages to capture a life in so short of a song. The video is excellent too. Check it out here.

100 years

I’m 15 for a moment
Caught in between 10 and 20
And I’m just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

I’m 22 for a moment
And she feels better than ever
And we’re on fire
Making our way back from Mars

15 there’s still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose
15 there’s never a wish better than this
When you’ve only got 100 years to live…

I’m 33 for a moment
I’m still “the man,” but you see I’m a “they”
A kid on the way, babe
A family on my mind

I’m 45 for a moment
The sea is high
And I’m heading into a crisis
Chasing the years of my life

15 there’s still time for you
Time to buy and time to lose yourself
Within a morning star
15 I’m alright with you
15 there’s never a wish better than this
When you’ve only got a 100 years to live…

Halftime goes by
Suddenly you’re wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We’re moving on…

I’m 99 for a moment
I’m dying for just another moment
And I’m just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are

15 there’s still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you’re on your way
Every day’s a new day

15 there’s still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15 there’s never a wish better than this
When you’ve only got 100 years to live…
