What Are You Going To Do With Your Life
Echo And The Bunnymen · The Fountain [2009]
If I knew now what I knew then
I'd wonder how not wonder when
There's something going wrong again
With me and mine
It's only ever what it seems
Memories and might have beens
Heaven's scent, the smell of dreams
We'll never find, tell me, tell me, tell me
What are you gonna do with your life?
What are you gonna do with your life?
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna be?
What am I gonna do?
I'm gonna be me, be me, be me
If I could see what you can see
The sun still shining out of me
I'd be the boy I used to be
When love was blind
I'd let the light back in again
And walk you to the tunnel's end
I'll be yours and maybe then
You'll be mine, tell me, tell me, tell me
What are you gonna do with your life?
What are you gonna do with your life?
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna be?
What am I gonna do?
I'm gonna be me, be me, be me
I will if you will, follow me down
I will if you will, follow me down
If I knew now what I knew then
I'd wonder how not wonder when
There's something going wrong again
With me and mine
It's only ever what it seems
Memories and might have beens
Heaven's scent, the smell of dreams
We'll never find, so tell me, tell me, tell me
What are you gonna do with your life?
What are you gonna do with your life?
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna be?
What am I gonna do?
I'm gonna be me, be me, be me
Gonna be me
Gonna be me
Gonna be me

I'd wonder how not wonder when
There's something going wrong again

We'll never find, tell me, tell me, tell me
What are you gonna do with your life?
What are you gonna do with your life?
What are you gonna do?
What are you gonna be?
What am I gonna do?
I'm gonna be me, be me, be me
If I could see what you can see
The sun still shining out of me
