How can you be so sure
When satisfied that you don’t need more
Like it’s all laid out
And it’s as good as it should be
Now you understand
A life explained with an open hand
Still you have no doubt
Everything’s as it should be
Is this the life that you’re happy with
I could show you how we could really live
Sometimes you need to shout
If you want to break out
It’s a one way trip
You have to make the most of it
And you paid up front
Not as much as it could be
And you’ve got no plan
But you’ve got a towel and the open sand
So it all worked out
Everything’s as it should be
Is this the life that you’re happy with
I could show you how we could really live
Sometimes you need to shout
If you want to break out

Everything as it should be
Let me throw you a lifeline
Everything as it should be
You won’t be ordinary this time
It’s a well worn path
Like happiness in a photograph
I mean, it does look real
But it’s so hard to remember
And we all move on
Those images have long since gone
And you tell yourself
Everything’s as it should be
Is this the life that you’re happy with
I could show you how we could really live
Sometimes you need to shout
If you want to break out
Everything as it should be
Let me throw you a lifeline
Everything as it should be
You won’t be ordinary this time
It seems to me
Despite your own existence
The path of least resistance
Is where you want to be
It’s a one way trip
You have to make the most of it
