Symphony lyrics
Ever since I was young (coming up, coming up)Always marching to a drum (bra-da-dum, bra-da-dum)Always focused on me (one-one, one-one)Now I wish that I could hold (someone, someone)
So tell my mom I love her, call my baby sisterShould’ve hugged and kissed her ’cause life is just a mysteryAnd it’s gone before you know itSo if you love me, won’t you show it, uh?
‘Cause this life is one big symphonyThis night is one for you and meI’m the strings and you’re the timpaniYou’re my constant tambourineThis life is one big symphonySo glad I’ve got you next to meI’m the chords and you’re the melodyThis life’s one big symphony
She was the piano, I’m the xylophoneYou can have the trumpet, I’m the saxophone
Life is skipping rope (keep going, keep going)Finding solace in a note (dote-dote, dote-dote)Had to struggle when I was broke (so low, so low)Writing music just to cope (no hope, no hope)
Yeah, life is just perspective, laughing when you’ve wrecked itSmiling when you kept it together, you weathered the stormAt the end of the play, you sang all the wayDoesn’t matter how off-key if you did it your way
This life is one big symphonyThis night is one for you and meI’m the strings and you’re the timpaniYou’re my constant tambourineThis life is one big symphonySo glad I’ve got you next to meI’m the chords and you’re the melodyThis life’s one big symphony
Would you care if I played you the flute?
See, it’s my favorite one because it’s so delicate and beautifulI pull out the trombone if it’s more suitableWanna make you smile, it’s been a little whileSince I’ve seen the white of your teethBeen a hard year, lucky the guitar’s here
Life is just one big symphony
‘Cause this life is one big symphonyThis night is one for you and meI’m the strings and you’re the timpaniYou’re my constant tambourine (life is just one big symphony)This life is one big symphonySo glad I’ve got you next to meI’m the chords and you’re the melodyThis life’s one big symphony
