{LYRICS}
(God knows there's gotta be more to life than this!)
Outside, the sun tries to come through my window
But I can't open up my eyes to face the day
Then, I remember you lyin' here beside me
And the bed is still warm where you lay
(God knows there's gotta be more to life than this!)
And like everybody else, I keep hopin' that there is
(God knows there's gotta be more to life than this!)
My life was full of 'em ol' 9-to-5 kind of things
I keep tellin' myself that I'm goin' to make a change
When I tell you the things that I want to do
Somehow, they all seem far away and strange...
(God knows there's gotta be more to life than this!)
And like everybody else, I keep hopin' that there is
(God knows there's gotta be more to life than this!)
(God knows there's gotta be more to life than this!)
(God knows there's gotta be more...)
