Lyrics

Once again I wake up alone on the wrong side of my bed. and once again you begin your dancing nakedly on the right side of my head. it's for a lack of better words that I can hardly speak my soul. and i'm feeling what i'm feeling when i'm feeling when it's time to lose control, my love

And once again we're off to war. but I can't agree with what we're fighting for. and that's not all, because every time she smiles I see her soul,when I smile what a wonderful life

It's true I used to try, but then I gave up. I learned it doesn't really matter, what I do ain't enough to appease or to please, all my well meaning deeds seem to all go up in smoke. and every time I look into these smoke filled skies I wonder what she's doing, why I volunteered to die. but tonight I will fight for my life so I might see my wife again
I explained to her that i'd be back.when I gave my word that the fighting wouldn't last. but despite my pact, I know that every breath I draw might be my last, and I smile: it's been a wonderful life

God damn, another summer in the city and I never seen a girl look so pretty as you when you smile oh you're wild for a while, I was hoping I might see you again. and I know that everybody is willing to go and I find i'll turn it all and leave on a dime. if I leave tonight (screw what's right) I can make it home by dawn

And I was told "boy, prepare for war" but they failed to mention what i'd be fighting for. so I fight for this: the fact that as I pass away, i'll feel her kiss,when I smile: what a wonderful life, me oh my, what a wonderful life, oh to die for such a wonderful life
