C'est La Vie

(album: Put Your Self Out There - 2021)

1, 2, 3, 4

Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do do

As a child, the paint never dried
I would change and rearrange things all the time
I was free, free to be anybody
Now I'm caught inside a no-machine
And I wanna feel alright
Without taking any medicine
It's like I've been asleep for a while
And now I'm running out of dreams, awakening

Some I've worn out
Grown out of
Torn down and
Thrown out cause
They keep getting me in trouble
Some are hard to explain
Some I'll try to maintain
But I know
Yeah I know
They keep getting me in trouble

Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do do (they keep getting me in trouble)
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do
Do do do do (they keep getting me in trouble)

Like a fish, drowning in water
With my fins taped to my sides
I've been floating upside down
And I know that I ought to
But I won't start to swim until the water boils
And I've lost the choice

Some I've worn out
Grown out of
Torn down and
Thrown out cause
They keep getting me in trouble
Some are hard to explain
Some I'll try to maintain
But I know
Yeah I know
They keep getting me in trouble

C'est la vie my friend
I'm cleaning out my closet
Some I'll keep but some I'm tossing
That's alright, you know
Gotta learn to let things go
Say goodbye and say hello

Every road I have to walk
All the bridges I must cross
Every ocean I can swim in
All the birds I have to watch
Every step I have to take
I will take them all
Even if I fall
Even if I fall (fall, fall)

C'est la vie my friend
I'm cleaning out my closet
Some I'll keep but some I'm tossing
That's alright, you know
Gotta learn to let things go
Say goodbye and say hello

C'est la vie my friend
I'm cleaning out my closet
Some I'll keep but some I'm tossing
That's alright, you know
Gotta learn to let things go
Say goodbye and say hello

Do do do, do do do
Do do do, do do do (I'm cleaning out my closet)
Do do do, do do do (some I'll keep but)
Do do do do (some I'm tossing)
Do do do, do do do (that's alright you know)
Do do do, do do do (gotta learn to let things go)
Do do do, do do do (say goodbye)
Do do do do (say goodbye and say hello)
