What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
It seems like once upon a time ago
2
I was where I was supposed to be
3
My vision was true and my heart was too
4
There was no end to what I could dream
5
I walked like a hero into the setting sun
6
Everyone called out my name
7
Death to me was just a mystery
8
I was too busy raisin up Cain
9
But nothing lasts forever
10
Your best efforts don't always pay
11
Sometimes you get sick
12
And you don't get better
13
That's when life is short
14
Even in its longest days
15
So you pretend not to notice
16
That everything has changed
17
The way that you look
18
And the friends you once had
19
So you keep on acting the same
20
But deep down in your soul
21
You know you got no flame
22
And who knows then which way to go
23
Life is short even in its longest days
24
All I got here
25
Is a rear view mirror
26
Reflections of where I've been
27
So you tell yourself I'll be back up on top some day
28
But you know there's nothing waiting up there for you anyway
29
Nothing lasts forever
30
And your best efforts don't always pay
31
Sometimes you get sick
32
And you don't get better
33
That's when life is short
34
Even in its longest days
35
Life is short
36
Even in its longest days
