Life In a Nutshell Lyrics

    Words & Music by Steven Page & Ed Robertson

    When she was three
    Her barbies always did it on the first date
    Now she's with me,
    There's never any need for them to demonstrate
    She's like a baby, I'm like a cat;
    When we are happy, we both get fat and still
    it's never enough, it's never enough,
    it's never enough

    Chorus:
    But I don't tend to worry about the things that other people say,
    And I'm learning that I wouldn't want it any other way
    Call me crazy, but it really doesn't matter
    All that matters to me is she

    Her life, in a nutshell
    No way would she want it to change me
    it's not that easy 'cause
    My time is often decided for me
    For me

    She memorized every pencil crayon colour in the box
    Her blue-green eyes complement the burn sienna in her locks
    She's at the movies, I'm on the phone;
    When we're separated, we're never alone, but still
    it's never enough, it's never enough,
    No it's never enough

    Chorus

    I fell down
    With no one there to catch me from falling
    Then she came 'round
    And only her tenderness stopped me from bawling my eyes out
    I'm OK
    And that's why
    Her life, in a nutshell ...
