Here we are
There's nowhere else to go and that's so far
From where we all could be but you can feel
Like, disappearing, you should take this for what it's worth

This is it, and it feels, and it feels like this is good
Enough for me, could it be that the grass is always green

There you are
You dream of something better, what's so wrong with
What you thought was true and, all the colors are
Disappearing, you should take this for what it's worth

This is it, and it feels, and it feels like this is good
Enough for me, could it be that the grass is always green

(This is it) this is it
(This is it) this is it

If you feel like disappearing, you should take this for what it's worth

This is it, and it feels, and it feels like this is good
Enough for me, could it be that the grass is always green

This is it
This is it
