On Love, On Life Bayside

[Verse 1]
So I sit here writing words in our old place
They all come out as letters
And I contemplate mistakes that we all make
Start and the ending of eras
When mystery fades
We identify the problems
But, they may not be problems after all

[Pre-Chorus]
Shock and dismay, they affect what we say
We should bite our tongues, we should bite our tongues
'Cause after all, it's only our lives anyway...

[Chorus]
And I can't let it bother me
If fact and fate just can't agree on love, on life
Can't we stop taking ourselves too seriously?

[Verse 2]
So I sit here carving words into the wall
Words that remind me of just how I was
I never felt as old and lonely as I felt
When I was young and in love
When mystery fades
We identify the problems
But, they may not be problems after all
