Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Ever since I was young (Coming up, coming up)

Always marching to a drum (Bra da dum, bra da dum)

Always focused on me (One one, one one)

Now I wish that I could hold someone (Someone)

[Verse 2]

So tell my mom I love her, call my baby sister

Should've hugged and kissed her

'Cause life is just a mystery

And it's gone before you know it

So if you love me, won't you show it?

[Verse 3]

'Cause this life is one big symphony

This night is one for you and me

I'm the strings and you're the timpani

You're my constant tambourine

This life is one big symphony

So glad I've got you next to me

I'm the chords and you're the melody

This life's one big symphony

[Verse 4]

She was the piano, I'm the xylophone

You can have the trumpet, I'm the saxophone

[Verse 5]

Life is skipping rope (Keep going, keep going)

Finding solace in a note (Dote dote, dote dote)

Had to struggle when I was broke (So low, so low)

Writing music just to cope (No hope, no hope)

[Verse 6]

Yeah, life is just perspective

Laughing when you've wrecked it

Smiling when you kept it together

You weathered the storm

At the end of the play, you sang all the way

Doesn't matter how off-key

If you did it your way

[Verse 7]

This life is one big symphony

This night is one for you and me

I'm the strings and you're the timpani

You're my constant tambourine

This life is one big symphony

So glad I've got you next to me

I'm the chords and you're the melody

This life's one big symphony

[Verse 8]

Would you care if I played you the flute?

See, it's my favorite one because it's so delicate and beautiful

I pull out the trombone if it's more suitable

Wanna make you smile

It's been a little while since I've seen the white of your teeth

Been a hard year

Lucky the guitar's here

[Verse 9]

Life is just one big symphony

[Verse 10]

This life is one big symphony

This night is one for you and me

I'm the strings and you're the timpani

You're my constant tambourine

This life is one big symphony

So glad I've got you next to me

I'm the chords and you're the melody

This life's one big symphony
