"A Lifetime To Find" lyrics - WILCO
O Death, O 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
