Ten years ago if I had seen myself as I am now
Holding a baby, loving you, and wondering how
Life keeps running away with us
Doesn’t take long to make something in life worth dying for
You think your heart’s full and then you find there’s just a little more
Life keeps running away with us
Life keeps running away
Better to have loved and lost than never love and never mourn
Oh Atticus don’t let the living take what you are living for
Everyone’s got a reason to be scared to lose it all
But it’s better to build a home than put up wall after wall
Life keeps running away with us
Learning to love is laying your life down and thinking nothing of it
So let your light shine and shine and shine till you’re no longer lit
Life keeps running away with us
Life keeps running away
Better to have loved and lost than never love and never mourn
Oh Atticus don’t let the living take what you are living for
Better to have loved and lost than never love and never mourn
Oh Atticus don’t let the living take what you are living for
Better to have loved and lost than never love and never mourn
Oh Atticus don’t let the living take what you are living for
Oh Atticus don’t let the living take what you are living for
Ten years from now if I could see your face I’d tell you
Life keeps running away with us
Life keeps running away with us
