We're forced to run under the gun

We give, we take, we make mistakes.

We do our best to get by

Oh, its a messy life, messy life

Beaten up on the inside

We try, we try, we try.

As long as I've got a heartbeat

As long as I got air to breathe

Long as you're here next to me, that's all I need

Oh it's the little things that give meaning, to the madness

Oh it's the little things that give meaning, to the madness.

We push, too far, and tempt the house of cards

Like we've got nothing to lose

I'm whole when I'm with you.

We do our best to get by

Oh, it's a messy life, messy life

Beaten up on the inside

We try, we try, we try.

As long as I've got a heartbeat

As long as I've got air to breathe

Long as you're here next to me, that's all I need

Oh it's the little things that give meaning, to the madness

Oh it's the little things that give meaning, to the madness.

Didn't see you coming

Now it's all or nothing

Didn't see you coming

You know what you were doing

(As long as you're here next to me, that's all I need)

As long as I've got a heartbeat

As long as I've got air to breathe

Long as you're here next to me, that's all I need

Oh it's the little things that give meaning, to the madness

Oh it's the little things that give meaning, to the madness

Oh it's the little things that give meaning, to the madness.
