about

I’ve got an image of a human life. We’re shot out of a cannon, a meteor, a comet, with an arc and trajectory. We’re a shooting star in the night sky. Catch it while you can!

lyrics

Life’s too short to fight and argue
It's too hard without a hand
I'm too soft to take these punches
Been too long without a friend
Honey be my friend

Days flow and I won't fight it
Way to go Father Time
I slow down, but life goes faster
I don't drown, I’m floating fine
I'm floating fine

I want you
To float too
Been so long
Same old song

I'm not one for running
I stick around, I'll take the heat
Every spark a blaze of glory
Every life so short and sweet
Short and sweet
