[Verse 1] A skeleton key in a pocket of dreams Locked doors whisper what the silence screams A paper boat floats in a whiskey stream Folded Fragile Tearing at the seams [Chorus] That’s life My friend Hanging on a thread A rhythm born when the needle bled A crooked smile in a storm unplanned Sandcastles standing on quicksand [Verse 2] A jukebox heart with a rusty tune Loving by daylight But gone by moon A seesaw dance with time's old broom Sweeping years away like a dusty room [Chorus] That’s life My friend The cards we deal A Ferris wheel with a broken wheel A patched-up quilt in a graveyard land Shoelaces tied 'round a shifting strand [Bridge] A scarecrow grins with painted eyes Hands made of straw Reaching for the skies The farmer’s blues hum a lonesome cry While a crow steals truth in a necktie [Verse 3] An old oak bends with the riverside Roots tangled deep where regrets reside Leaves fall slow They cannot hide The only way through is the next low tide
