The Life Lyrics

This is my favorite song on the new cd. To me, it's about growing up and realizing that life's not all you thought it would be. You're told that if you work hard you can accomplish your dreams, and I think this song is about getting everything you wanted and it not being what you thought it would be.

He says "Headed for the coast Looking for the high life Everybody knows It's nothing but a good time And I sold everything I had For something I can't seem to find" That's saying he went to look for what everyone has been talking about and he can't seem to find it.

Then it says "this is the life they talk about? this is the I can't live without"...I think that's said sarcastically, like "this is it?". This song hits hard for me, to get to where you've been going and being disappointed. Idk, just my take on it.
