The first snow The first winter of my life I was told it was the height of me The first dance Well, the first one that counted Felt like my blood was built my from crackling lights All this ancient wildness That we don't understand The first sound of a heartbeat To riot roaring on This is not love you had before This is something else This is something else This is not the same as other days This is something else This is something else Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard This is life on earth It's just life on earth It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me This is life on earth It's just life on earth The first light The first light on the silent shore Just the ships set anchor me and you The way home This is always the way home So you can rip that map to shreds, my dear But all we ever wanted See miles and miles from here In the first days in a strange new land We could be sailors This is not love you had before This is something else This is something else This is not the same as other days This is something else This is something else Shouldn't need to be so fucking hard This is life on earth It's just life on earth It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me This is life on earth It's just life on earth Ah ah ah Ah ah ah Ah ah ah Ah ah ah It shouldn't need to be so fucking hard This is life on earth It's just life on earth It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me This is life on earth It's just life on earth
