two week world versuri

two week world lyrics by the garages

VERSE 1
The universe will give you life
Then turn you around
Throw you into the wild and say
Go and figure it out

Play by the rules as much as you can
‘til you learn with age
What you can’t do and then
Try and make a change

Chorus
But when the world lasts two weeks
You don’t get far
When the sun forms and burns out in fourteen days
All you can hope to be is someone else’s star
In someone else’s sky a trillion miles away
A googolplex of years down the road
Maybe one day our light will guide someone home

VERSE 2
We do our best to makе meaning
That means something
That lеaves a mark that’s bigger
Than the shapes we’re in

We make some friends and tell ‘em
How we love ‘em so
And we fight to make a space
In which our kids can grow

Chorus
But when the world lasts two weeks
You don’t get far
When the sun forms and burns out in fourteen days
All you can hope to be is someone else’s star
In someone else’s sky a trillion miles away
A googolplex of years down the road
Maybe one day our light will guide someone home

BRIDGE: Main Singer, Backing Vocals 1, Backing Vocals 2, Backing Vocals 3
Things were here before me
And they’ll still stay here when I’m gone

Things were here before me
And they’ll still stay here when I’m gone

All the time I get
(Things were here before me)
Is here and now
(And they’ll still stay here when I’m gone)

All the time I get
(Things were here before me)
Is here and now
(And they’ll still stay here when I’m gone)

Blink and it’s over
(Things were here before me)
(All the time I get)
The candle wax is burning low
(And they’ll still stay here when I’m gone)
(Is here and now)

Blink and it’s over
(Things were here before me)
(All the time I get)
The candle wax is burning low
(And they’ll still stay here when I’m gone)
(Is here and now)

If all I got is what I’ve got
(Things were here before me)
(All the time I get)
(Blink and it’s over)
Then I’m gonna make it count
(And they’ll still stay here when I’m gone)
(Is here and now)
(The candle wax is burning low)

If all I got is what I’ve got
(Things were here before me)
(All the time I get)
(Blink and it’s over)
Then I’m gonna make it count
(And they’ll still stay here when I’m gone)
(Is here and now)
(The candle wax is burning low)

Chorus
When the world lasts two weeks
You don’t get far
When the sun forms and burns out in fourteen days
All you can hope to be is someone else’s star
In someone else’s sky a trillion miles away
A googolplex of years down the road
Maybe one day our light will guide someone home
