Is This the Life? Lyrics

[Verse]
Following around to see a life
That's never in
Always calling itself on its own phone
Though it's never quite at home
In the world today

[Verse 2]
See it to arranging the day
Prepared in its own special way
With added loving care
Though it's not been there
Since yesterday

[Verse 3]
Looking so hard for a cause
And it don't care what it is
And never really ever seeing eye to eye
Though it doesn't really mind
Perhaps it's why

It never really saw
Never really saw
Saw-aw-aw-aw...

[Guitar solo]

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
