Annie Hendrix - Short Life

Do you remember when we tried to run away from home
We ran the acre through the meadow, climbed the fence and jumped
Oh the places we could go, the person I could be
If we could get away from this small town

What do I want in this short life
How do I settle down this restless heart of mine
I don't want to waste another second of my precious time
Is it too much to want it all

I miss the loud folk and the open space
I think about it while we sit and watch the city change
This place is cracked wide open, yours to have if you can hold it
But it's not worth a thing if you can't set it down and seize the moment

Someday we'll get back to what matters most
We'll find a little place to sit and watch the garden grow
I know the meadow's always greener on the other side
It seems like we could have it all, if we just left it all behind

What do I want in this short life
How do I settle down this restless heart of mine
I don't want to waste another second of my precious time
Is it too much to want it all
In this short life
In this short life
In this short life
