Anders Osborne - Life Don't Last That Long (2016)
4th O February Music Video Of The Day
When I moved to California
I had a friend out there
My scarlet begonia
A Hollywood affair
I got caught up in the big wave
Riding that big blue
But my heart was beating different
I knew it wasn’t you
Free, yeah you’re on a path and you tell yourself
You need to just keep on moving
Even if you hurt someone
Life don’t last that long
I stayed high up in the mountains
But I couldn’t find my rest
I drank heavy from that fountain
‘Til I couldn’t feel my chest
So many people, so much chatter
But nothing to fit my goals
Need lightness in my body
And colors to show my soul
Free, yeah you’re on a path and you tell yourself
You need to just keep on moving
And find where you belong
Life don’t last that long
Still looking for a wiser man
To reign this world
And maybe someday I will
Oh, I will find that pearl
Find that pearl
I need something to believe in
Someone to hear my call
I tried to choose religion
Seemed to like them all
I kept reading my old scriptures
And gazing up above
Instead of being where I’m standing
And feeling that one love
Free, yeah you’re on a path and you tell yourself
You need to just keep on moving
Even when your faith is gone
Life don’t last that long
Life don’t last that long
