Story Behind The Song

Song Description

As I was riding the subway in Munich, I looked at all the people around me and wondered if they were really happy and what their life story was. I think so many people go through life not thinking if they are really happy in the relationship, job or place they are in. Life goes by quickly enough; it is a gift that should not be wasted. Also, just because you think someone would be unhappy in a situation(maybe someone who is really poor and has worked at some menial job thier whole life) does not mean that they are and visa versa. ( are rich people happy?)

Lyrics

A sea of diamonds on her hands
she drives a mercaides-benz
fur on her sholders, gucci on her legs
channel glasses filter her view
she lives in a palace for 2

is she happy,
who can say
am i are you?
well, this is your life
yeah dont waste it

she doesnt have diamonds, callouses instead
works seven days a week to keep the babies fed
doesnt have a man to love her soul
only memories of a man long gone
she used to write her own love songs

is she happy?
who can say
am i? are you?
well, this is your life
yeah, don't waste it

remember being little
and how you thought your life would be
how quickly we loose
that fantasy
and are you really growing up to be
who you are inside?

he sits and thinks and writes and dreams
lonely and poor it may seem
a dog named boe his sole company
his only clothes 2 t-shirts and a pair of jeans
he wears while pondering what life means

is he happy?
who can say
am i? are you?
well, this is your life
yeah, don't waste it
