and you were naked in the flashing light
your hair dangling just right
i wondered how the future knew
what we were supposed to do
'cause it seems like a short life
but it feels like a long time
when i remember everything
that you were perfect in the flashing light
if i tried i'd make this thing work right
and when the future saw you
i was every point of view
'cause it seems like a short life
but it feels like a long time
when i remember everything
and tell us that the pain
it's just a part of growing up
it seems like a short life
it seems like a short life
it seems like a short life
it seems like a short life
