Efímero

Like laughter in a sea
That moment of happiness
I don't want to look at the clock
Lest it passes by

Life is ephemeral
Giving us so little of what we want
And life is ephemeral
Lasting a breath and sometimes less

How ephemeral life is
Lasting a hug, a kiss, an 'I love you'
How ephemeral life is
Only giving us 9 seconds to be in heaven

I ran to the mistletoe
To see if I could kiss my grandma
I climbed to the top of the hill
To see if I could touch her star

I hate airports
And I miss the eternal
Life is life because of the spark
That ignites the fire

Life is ephemeral
Giving us so little of what we want
And life is ephemeral
Lasting a breath and sometimes less

How ephemeral life is
Lasting a hug, a kiss, an 'I love you'
How ephemeral life is
Only giving us 9 seconds to be in heaven

Without a grain of sand, the clock doesn't exist
Maybe you call that note a song
Maybe what broke his plans made him live more than what he wrote
Maybe a note is nothing
But it gives meaning to this sea
Maybe the engine of life runs on seconds
And we'll have to start it

Life is ephemeral
Giving us so little of what we want
And life is ephemeral
Lasting a breath and sometimes less

How ephemeral life is
Lasting a hug, a kiss, an 'I love you'
How ephemeral life is
Only giving us 9 seconds to be in heaven
