Lyrics
There’s a man, just like you
Describing a man with similarities to the listener.
Lived his life he never knew
Summarizing the man's life as one of unawareness.
What he wanted what to do
Expressing the man's uncertainty about his purpose.
Worked until hundred two
Highlighting the man's dedication, working until a very old age.
Then retired then he died
Transitioning to the man's retirement and subsequent death.
A tragedy, I can’t decide
Labeling the man's life as a tragedy, questioning the assessment.
Was he happy never asked
Raising the question of the man's happiness and the lack of inquiry.
Everyday went so fast
Reflecting on the rapid pace of the man's everyday life.
He had a daughter, had a wife
Introducing the man's family, daughter, and wife.
Did he grab the most from life
Pondering if the man fully embraced life's opportunities.
He loved to play, love to make
Noting the man's enjoyment of play and creation.
Too bad he died a mistake
Expressing regret about the man's untimely death.
Today is the only day
Declaring the significance of today in understanding life.
I can understand
Emphasizing the exclusivity of understanding today.
Try to make a plan
Mentioning the intention to formulate a plan.
I don’t know if I can
Expressing uncertainty about the ability to make a plan.
Today will have to do
Acknowledging the necessity of dealing with today.
I hope I make it through
Expressing hope in overcoming challenges today.
Living for today
Advocating for a focus on the present.
As long as I can
Committing to living for today as long as possible.
Living for today
Reiterating the commitment to living for today.
That’s my only plan
Summarizing the singer's primary life plan.
