The Great Deal Of Love

One day I'll take my life
Right back and live it right
The wreckage of my past
Like firewood
Keeps piling up on me
No kind philosophy
Can ever quite reach me
Like happiness might be
The wonder wonder underneath it all

I've listened to those fools
That went to those good schools
But they don't know what's like
To work and sleep and wake and work again
Yes, she might hav torn my heart apart
Like chicken on a plate
And yes, I might be free
But freedom never felt so wrong to me

I love I love I love I love I love
I love the way you live your life
The wrong way
I love I love I love I love
To watch you living your whole life
The wrong way
Expecting far too much
Out of a day

I want to meet her on
The bright side of the leaf
And whisper it's okay
Like a cloud might whisper
To its lady rain
But her eyes were never home
She was never quite alone
Like some psychotic dawn
She only came alive when things were going wrong

I love I love I love I love I love
I love the way you live your life
The wrong way
I love I love I love I love
To watch you living your whole life
The wrong way
Expecting far too much
Out of a day

Don't stop living your whole life the wrong way
Go on living your whole life the wrong way
Because you can you can you can you can you can
You can live your whole life the wrong way
