about

The other life is happening all around us all the time. How do we feel about our real lives?

lyrics

There’s time to burn letters
there’s time not to talk
time to steal glimpses in Pandora’s box

There’s time to run reckless
through yellow-turning lights
a time to speed headlong into the other life

The other life is just like this one
more of me and less of you
the other life things happen easily
but they’re harder to undo

My friends said ‘take it easy, try it for a year or two’
They grew up hearing stories about what the other life can do

But we both knew better
and we moved too fast
Not gonna give that other life a dying chance

And now we are together
so close we could touch
I know just what you’re thinking, I think too much

And as we lay dreaming
half-spent is the night
Is this just a foothold in the other life?
