Lyrics

[Verse 1] I've only seen 23 summertimes Nearly had another brother, but he shut his eyes Pretty sure that I must've lived another life If I could give it, then he could've had one of mine I got a lot of gifts, more than I could ever wish But, at best, see my life like a dozen dimes Lucky enough to have even found love in life As strong as what a child sees in its mother's eyes But I always get caught up in every single sort of "It rеally ain't important" that I can find You'd be impressed by thе way that I can stress All the little problems I create in my troubled mind [Hook] And you and I may never even meet But at least we can take in the scenery So please don't stress the little things Forget the never-dids and make 'em be Open your eyes, my love Oh [Verse 2] You know that feeling when your heart breaks open When you swear you'll spend your last days lonely Of course you do, it's all consuming But there's no thing I'd rather be than only human I try to make myself reflect on the way that I forget All the things that I have, all the good with the bad But isn't that the best? Being able to forget We wouldn't treasure memories if they weren't all we had This life ain't roses, it's mostly thorns It sure ain't perfect, at least it's yours If someone takes your place, they can keep it warm Try singing in the rain; you can weather the storm [Hook] And you and I may never even meet But at least we can take in the scenery So please don't stress the little things Forget the never-dids and make 'em be Open your eyes, my love Oh [Bridge] I always manage to forget the bigger picture And get it so framed up or paint it as a villain If you spend too much time only staring at the brush-strokes You could miss a masterpiece in amongst those And I'm so scared of starting new endeavours That I watch my first steps until they turn into forevers My relationships are on the docks, so tethered That I couldn't see an angel for the feathers Open your eyes, my love Oh [Outro] Don't you see that the present Is a little gift for you and me? Don't you see that the present Is a little gift for you and me? Is a little gift for you and me? Is a little gift for you and me?
