About This Life
“This Life” was released with “Unbearably White” on April 4th, 2019 as the third and final pair of singles before "Father Of The Bride" was officially released. In his Soundcheck Session with Radio X in May 2019, Ezra confirmed that some of the themes of the song, like in many other songs on the record, are interpersonal relationships and adulthood. The song started from the hook of iLoveMakonnen’s "Tonight", which became the chorus of the song. .
This Life Lyrics
[00:23.90] Baby, I know pain is as natural as the rain
[00:28.39] I just thought it didn't rain in California
[00:34.39] Baby, I know love isn't what I thought it was
[00:39.37] 'Cause I've never known a love like this before ya
[00:46.50]
[00:52.06] Baby, I know dreams tend to crumble at extremes
[00:56.53] I just thought our dream would last a little bit longer
[01:02.64] There's a time when every man draws a line down in the sand
[01:07.75] We're surviving, we're still living I was stronger
[01:13.86]
[01:25.62] You've been cheating on, cheating on me
[01:28.17] I've been cheating on, cheating on you
[01:30.68] You've been cheating on me
[01:33.70] But I've been cheating through this life
[01:37.84]
[01:39.85] And all its suffering
[01:46.40] Oh Christ,
[01:51.58] Am I good for nothing?
[01:55.11]
[01:58.06] Baby, I know hate is always waiting at the gate
[02:02.88] I just thought we locked the gate when we left in the morning
[02:08.88] I was told that war is how we landed on these shores
[02:14.14] I just thought the drums would all be loud warnings
[02:20.18]
[02:32.00] You've been cheating on, cheating on me
[02:34.44] I've been cheating on, cheating on you
[02:36.81] You've been cheating on me
[02:40.53] But I've been cheating through this life
[02:46.33] And all its suffering
[02:50.68]
[02:52.95] Oh Christ, am I good for for nothing?
[03:02.55] Baby, I know death probably hasn't happened yet
[03:09.41] 'Cause I don't remember living life before this
[03:15.37] And darling, our disease is the same one as the trees
[03:20.78] Unaware that they've been living in a forest
[03:27.10]
[03:37.07] You've been cheating on, cheating on me
[03:40.79] I've been cheating on, cheating on you
[03:43.37] You've been cheating on me
[03:46.45] But I've been cheating through this life
[03:50.56]
[03:52.69] And all its suffering
[03:56.31]
[03:59.15] Oh Christ, am I good for nothing?
[04:10.63] This life and all its suffering
[04:17.21]
