Rachael Yamagata - Little Life

Copied!

When all of this makes the news
Will they remember to tell it right
Or will devils make off in the night?
Can you tell me why I got so high as I was flying?

As she lays in bed in her piece of ground
Will they remember her blessed soul
Or just that she lost all control?
Can you tell me why she had to die alone?

And people wake up, people get movin'
There's a life waitin' here
Get up, people start doin'
There's a life waitin' here

When all our time spent away
We remember the loves of our past
Or just that love never lasts
Can you tell me why this little life goes so fast?
