about

In the genre of 'thoughtful pop', a rather small genre.

lyrics

HERE’S A GOOD THING NOT TO THINK ABOUT
WILL WE BE REMEMBERED WHEN WE’RE
GONE FROM HERE IN A HUNDRED YEARS
I DON’T THINK MY NAME WILL COME UP MUCH AT ALL
IN DINNER CONVERSATION

WHICH RAISES THE QUESTION WHY GO ON
WHICH IS A STUPID QUESTION
ME AND MY FRIENDS
WE ALL KNOW HOW THIS ENDS
SO I GUESS WE’LL MAKE THE BEST OF EVERYDAY 
AS IF WE REALLY MATTERED

DO I KNOW THE REASONS AS TO WHY LIFE IS FLEETING
I DON’T REALLY THINK SO BUT I’LL TRY TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING

WISH I HAD LEARNED THE VIOLIN
WISH I HAD TRAVELED SOME
AND DONE MUCH MORE
BUT WHO’S KEEPING SCORE
AS LENNON SAID RELAX AND FLOAT DOWNSTREAM 
CAUSE IN THE GRAND SCHEME

DO I REALLY KNOW THE REASONS WHY, LIFE IS FLEETING
I DON’T REALLY THINK SO BUT I’LL TRY TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING
DO I KNOW THE REASONS AS TO WHY LIFE IS FLEETING
I DON’T REALLY THINK SO BUT I’LL TRY TO COME UP WITH SOMETHING

I TRIED IT ONCE SO I KNOW
I GAVE IT ALL I HAD BUT NO
I COULD NEVER SEEM TO FREE
THE SWORD FROM THE STONE

AND I WON’T TRY ANYMORE 
TO LIFT THE HAMMER OF THOR
I’LL JUST TRY AND LIVE MY DAYS
IN ORDINARY WAYS

I DON’T REALLY CARE TO COMPREHEND
WHAT HAPPENS IN THE END
WOULDN’T IT BE NICE  IF WE COULD DO THIS TWICE

I DON’T REALLY THINK THAT THAT’S THE CASE
I’LL BOW OUT WITH GRACE
AT LEAST I HOPE I WILL
THAT’S THE BEST I’LL HOPE FOR

I DON’T THINK THAT I CAN SAY JUST NOW
I DON’T THINK I WANT TO END IT NOW
LIKE TO THINK THAT LIFE IT JUST GOES ON
THOUGH I THINK I KNOW THAT THAT IS WRONG
