From the recording Far Between
Living in the present. A true story about someone I know that nearly died after dancing in a festival in Italy.
Lyrics
You laughed at the summer sky
Then in a moment, the light left your eyes
The panic gathered around where you lay quiet
I watched the fight, it made time stand still
It reminded me that we’re all fragile
And all that mattered, all that mattered
Is that you get, is that you get, another chance
la la-la la-la-la la-la la-la la la la la-la la-la-la la-la la-la la la
I thought we’d lose you
We kept fighting to pull you through
You’re back with us, it’s miraculous
Because you get, because you get another chance
la la-la la-la-la la-la la-la la la la la-la la-la-la la-la la-la la la
Take advantage of what you’ve won, soak up the present, soak up the sun
‘Cause not everyone gets another chance
la la-la la-la-la la-la la-la la la la la-la la-la-la la-la la-la la la
la la-la la-la-la la-la la-la la la la la-la la-la-la la-la la-la la la
