Lyrics This Is Life (Merry Christmas) [feat. Daniel Rodriguez] - The Lumineers , Daniel Rodriguez

Things could get so bad, I know
But things could always be worse
There′s a blessing tucked inside of each and every curse
You could be a selfish fool
Though somehow not be selfish enough
Your glass could be half full
But you've already drank way too much

This is life (this is life)
This is life (this is life)
Merry Christmas
This is life (this is life)
This is life (this is life)

Oh, how humor
You burst the bubble of all our hidden pain
Oh, how humor
You clever mother, you′re keeping everybody sane
Oh, how laughter
You make us bastards feel some kind of joy
Like a golden token
We find we're not broken
Like some cheap little toys

This is life (this is life)
This is life (this is life)
Merry Christmas
This is life (this is life)
This is life (this is life)
Merry Christmas

Time's so fleeting
I hope that you′re reading everything in between the lines
Life can have meaning if you keep dreaming
All the way through the days and the nights
I saw you cry a little in the middle
Of a story you once told
You′re a thing of beauty, and we're all rooting
For you not to fold

This is life (this is life)
This is life (this is life)
Merry Christmas
This is life (this is life)
This is life (this is life)
Merry Christmas

This is life (this is life)
This is life (this is life)
Merry Christmas
This is life (this is life)
This is life (this is life)
Merry Christmas
