Intro verse 1 The first snow, first winter of my life I was told it was the height of me The first dance, well the first one that counted Felt like my blood was built from crackling lights Oh this ancient wildness That we don't understand The first sound of a heartbeat To riots roaring on This is not a love you've had before This is something else, this is something else This is not the same as other days This is something else, this is something else It shouldn't need to be so fucking hard This is life on earth, it's just life on earth It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me This is life on earth, it's just life on earth verse 2 The first light, first light on the silent shore Just the ships that anchor me and you The way home, this is always the way home So you can rip that map to shreds, my dear But all we ever wanted Seem miles and miles from here In the first days in a strange new land We could be set oars This is not a love you've had before This is something else, this is something else This is not the same as other days This is something else, this is something else It shouldn't need to be so fucking hard This is life on earth, it's just life on earth It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me This is life on earth, it's just life on earth It shouldn't need to be so fucking hard This is life on earth, it's just life on earth It doesn't need to be the end of you, or me This is life on earth, it's just life on earth
