A Lifetime To Find Letra - Wilco

O Death, O Death

I was just getting dressed

The place is a mess

I was hoping you'd forget

But I can feel you in my chest

I can feel you in my chest

Oh yes, oh yes

Death never rests

I can see you've done your best

The problem is just this

It's too late for regrets

I am here to collect

It takes a lifetime to find

A life like the life you had in mind

It takes a lifetime to find

A life like the life you had in mind

Now you're mine

Oh Death, I confess

I should have known what to expect

But you're so hard to accept

Last time I checked

I was neck and neck

As healthy as the next

Oh yes, you were blessed

Blessed in the past tense

But it's too late now

To make it make sense

It's too late to pretend

This day won't ever end

It takes a lifetime to find

A life like the life you had in mind

It takes a lifetime to find

A life like the life you had in mind

And now you're mine

So alright, today's the day and tonight is the night

There's no reason, there's no rhyme, just time to go, goodbye

But why can't you try to ease what's on my poor mind?

Oh Jeff, don't obsess

It's the best that I can do

To help you see the light

And help the light to see you

It's true, there was a truth

That was you and only you ever knew

It takes a lifetime to find

The life like the life you had in mind

It takes a lifetime to find

The life like the life you had in mind

It takes a lifetime to find

The life like the life you had in mind

Now you're mine
