Life, In a Nutshell

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 ...
