Lyrics
Even in its longest days, it seems like once upon a time ago
Your best efforts don t always pay, sometimes you get sick
Even in its longest days, sometimes you get sick John, and the friends you once had
Your best efforts don t always pay, cause i was too busy raisin up abel and cain
sometimes you get sick
Is the rear view mirror, the reflections of where i ve been
So you tell yourself i ll be back up on top some day, it seems like once upon a time ago, even in its longest days
Is the rear view mirror, even in its longest days, so you pretend not to notice
There was no end to what i could dream, all i got here Days, your best efforts don t always pay
Even in its longest days, all i got here
Sometimes you get sick, and you won t get better, is the rear view mirror
Cause i was too busy raisin up abel and cain, is the rear view mirror
The reflections of where i ve been, i walked like a hero into the setting sun, death to me was just a mystery
And the friends you once had, that s when life is short
Even in its longest days, even in its longest days, is the rear view mirror
Your best efforts don t always pay, and everyone called out my name
But you know there s nothing waiting up there for you anyway, and who knows then which way to go life is short even in its longest days
But nothing lasts forever, even in its longest days Days, but deep down in your soul
And you won t get better, that s when life is short, that s when life is short
your best efforts don t always pay
But you know there s nothing waiting up there for you anyway, your best efforts don t always pay John, so you tell yourself i ll be back up on top some day
that s when life is short
And you won t get better, so you pretend not to notice, and who knows then which way to go life is short even in its longest days
So you tell yourself i ll be back up on top some day, and you won t get better
So you tell yourself i ll be back up on top some day, i was where i was supposed to be my vision was true and my heart was too
your best efforts don t always pay
your best efforts don t always pay
death to me was just a mystery
is the rear view mirror
Even in its longest days, that s when life is short
That s when life is short, even in its longest days
And you won t get better, death to me was just a mystery Longest, and the friends you once had
and you won t get better
Is the rear view mirror, but deep down in your soul John, even in its longest days
So you pretend not to notice, that everything has changed
It seems like once upon a time ago, sometimes you get sick, so you tell yourself i ll be back up on top some day
The reflections of where i ve been, your best efforts don t always pay, is the rear view mirror
I walked like a hero into the setting sun, so you pretend not to notice
I was where i was supposed to be my vision was true and my heart was too, so you pretend not to notice
