!JP - Life Is Sweet

from Carbon Copy (extended version) by Jean Koning

/

lyrics

This one is for the girl who says she’s unlucky in love
You deserve to have the world at your feet
And if one person, one man could be enough
Then I wish it could be me
I wish it could be me

This one is for the boy whose daddy never had the time for him
Wish I could build you a little house for you to hide in
And give you back your summers
I’d give you back all your summers
You still have summers

Life is sweet
Life is sweet
Life is sweet
Bittersweet
And the days keep rollin’ along

This one is for the girl who says those voices in her head
Never leave her alone
Don’t listen to your teacher, you’re not crazy
Just smarter than the rest of them
Paint a picture, write a song
Tell your story
Untill it's gone

Life is sweet
Life is sweet
Life is sweet
Bittersweet
And the days keep rollin’ along
Rollin’ along

This one is for the boy who’s not allowed to be part of the gang
You don’t need those losers I think you’re beautiful
And you meet a girl and you fall in love and it doesn’t work out
Well it won’t be the first time and they don’t make a cure for that
So you eat your breakfast, read a book
Open up your window, be alone

Life is sweet
Life is sweet
Life is sweet
Bittersweet
And the days keep rollin’ along
Rollin’ along
