Life Gets In The Way Of Living Lyrics

HEY, HEY LET'S GET OVER THIS
I'M CRUSHED BY THE PUSH
AND WHEN I LISTEN I STILL DON'T HEAR
KISS ME AND IT WILL BE FINE
MY LIPS ARE WELL ,ITS MY HEART THAT'S RECOVERING YOUR SWEET SALIVA I PRESCRIBE
LIFE GETS IN THE WAY OF LIVING
I'M A TEACHER AND THE STUDENT
A SIGNIFICANT INSIGNIFICANCE
BUT STILL AS EVERYTHING CHANGES
KISSES AND HUGS ARE ALL I WANT TO

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

my mother always used to say: every day brings its own worries.

It's like life consists of nothing more than solving problems and making ends meet and dealing with your "issues". If you wait for problems to stop and total happiness to kick in, you will wait forever. I am sure we would all like to enjoy our life a little more: travel more, hang out more, party more, chill a little more...but the truth is that we are allways busy: school, college, job, children, rent, bills, money, health.

It is life itself that gets in the way. It is reality itself that ties us down, like an anchor. It is life that gets in the way of living.
