Not In This Life Lyrics
Lately I've been walking all alone
through the wind and through the rain
Been walking through the streets
and finding sweet relief in knowing
that it won't be long.
Lately it's occurred to me that I've had enough of that
and lately I've been satisfied by simple things
like breathing in and breathing out
Never again, not in this life
will I be taken twice
Never again, never on your life
Will I make that same mistake
I can't make it twice
Lately it's occurred to me
exactly what went wrong
I realized I compromised
I sacrificed far too much for far too long
Never again, not in this life
Will I be taken twice
Never again, not on your life
Will I make that same mistake
I can't make it twice
Starting out from here today
Swear I'm gonna change my ways
Once mistaken in this life
but never twice
through the wind and through the rain
Been walking through the streets
and finding sweet relief in knowing
that it won't be long.
Lately it's occurred to me that I've had enough of that
and lately I've been satisfied by simple things
like breathing in and breathing out
will I be taken twice
Never again, never on your life
Will I make that same mistake
I can't make it twice
exactly what went wrong
I realized I compromised
I sacrificed far too much for far too long
Will I be taken twice
Never again, not on your life
Will I make that same mistake
I can't make it twice
Starting out from here today
Swear I'm gonna change my ways
Once mistaken in this life
but never twice

You said it. Natalie Merchant lovely voice. Love her. Since the epic year 2000. Her voice is like a Lullaby to out you to sleep and it can also Yank your attention by your EARS. It\'s up to Natalie Merchant.
This song was featured over a scene from the first season of "Alias". Can't remeber exactly what was happening, but I knew right away that it was Natalie singing; no one else has a voice like that...
