Daryl Hall & John Oates - Life's Too Short lyrics

I let you escape, slip through my fingers

We made our mistakes, but memories linger

Each time I turn a corner I swear I see your face

But I'm standing here alone in the wonder

What I really needed, what made me run away?

Was it just a crazy spell I was under?

[Chorus:]

We all love on borrowed time, tomorrow's flying blind

And Life's Too Short to be living without you

You laughed at my jokes, broke down my defenses

It's like my heart just awoke, and brought back my senses

I've got my motor runnning, it's all that I can do

Cause every road I'm taking is leading back to you

[Chorus]

I give in I can't go it alone, yeah I'm done now I know that you're gone

I need someone to save me and Life's Too Short to be living without you
