You'd think by now I'd have figured it out   At least just a little bit but I get turned around   Headed the wrong way, down a one way   And I always thought I'd see you again some day      Is your life as hard for you as mine is for me?   For your sake I hope you're laughing in the sun   But I don't think I'm the only one waiting for the good to shine   And it feels like I'm down to life number nine   Life number nine      You'd think by now I'd be better somehow   At least just a little bit but when the sun goes down   I see the old familiar places   And I can't help looking into the crowd for your face      Is your life as hard for you as mine is for me?   For your sake I hope you're laughing in the sun   But I don't think I'm the only one waiting for the good to shine   And it feels like I'm down to life number nine      Every time I see the sun go down   I'm lost and I'm so damn lonely   And I know that   I'm down to number nine      I'm headed the wrong way, down a one way   And I always thought I'd see you again some day      Is your life as hard for you as mine is for me?   For your sake I hope you're laughing in the sun   But I don't think I'm the only one waiting for the good to shine   And it feels like I'm down to life number nine   Life number nine, life number nine, life number nine   Life number nine, life number nine, life number nine
