Life is just what life is
It drops you as it lifts
And if you stop and think about it too long
You’ll miss the ride
Only just a little bit
Just one piece a time
Only just a little bit
We say goodbye
Learn to live on your own
And sleep as long as you want
You’ll dream of crab cakes by the sea
A salty breeze and the love you’ve yet to meet
Until you wake up just a little bit
Oh just one piece at a time
Only just a little bit
We say goodbye
To the fantasies that bring us to our knees
Though nothing ever goes as planned
Don’t forget how to stand up like a mountain to the beast
They’ll take a swing but you’re stronger than you think
Find yourself a light,
Keep it lit all through the night
You’ll find your way someday
You’ll be alright
Only, always, just a little bit
Oh just one piece at a time
Only just a little bit
We say goodbye
To the fear that you learned as a child
Life is just what life is
It drops you as it lifts
And if you stop and think about it too long
You’ll miss the ride
Only just a little bit
Just one piece a time
Only just a little bit
We say goodbye
