Lyrics
Life's Too Short, Copyrighted (C) 2009, When Planets Align
Verse 1
Wish I could just capture time
A cosmic moment so sublime
How great and tragic it would be
Controlling my own destiny
Chorus (first version)
Oh, life's too short, the universe can guide me
And life's too long, just to go along
Oh, life's too short, I see the signs before me
That life's too short, it's much too short
Verse 2
Time for once is on my side
Planets starting to align
I feel and trust that it's a sign
My dreams soon will be realized
Repeat Chorus (first version) and second:
Oh, life's too short, the earth moves ever faster
And life's too long, just to go along
Oh, life's too short, to deny what I'm after
Life's too short, it's much too short
Bridge
Should I, could I, what's the point?
Should I stick with stability?
Or explore the possibilities?
Repeat Chorus
Rideout
The universe is guiding me
I see the signs, signs before me
The universe is guiding me
Let me be, what I want to be
The universe is guiding me
Yeah, yeah, yeah...
