A Lifetime To Find Lyrics

Oh Death, oh Death, I was just getting dressed
The place is a mess
I was hoping you'd forget
But I can feel you in my chest, I can feel you in my chest

Oh yes, oh yes
Death never rests
I can see you've done your best
The problem is just this, it's too late for regrets
I am here to collect

It takes a lifetime to find
A life like the life you had in mind
It takes a lifetime to find
A life like the life you had in mind
Now you're mine

Oh Death, I confess, I should have known what to expect
But you're so hard to accept
Last time I checked
I was neck and neck
As healthy as the next

Oh yes, you were blessed, blessed in the past tense
But it's too late now
To make it make sense, it's too late to pretend
This day won't ever end

It takes a lifetime to find
A life like the life you had in mind
It takes a lifetime to find
A life like the life you had in mind
And now you're mine

So alright, today's the day and tonight is the night
There's no reason, there's no rhyme, just time to go, goodbye
But why can't you try to ease what's on my poor mind?

Oh Jeff, don't obsess
It's the best that I can do
To help you see the light and help the light to see you
It's true, there was a truth
That was you and only you ever knew

It takes a lifetime to find
The life like the life you had in mind
It takes a lifetime to find
The life like the life you had in mind

It takes a lifetime to find
The life like the life you had in mind
Now you're mine
