[Verse 1]
We're forced, to run, under, the gun
We give, we take, we make, mistakes

[Pre-Chorus]
We do our best to get by
Oh, its a messy life, messy life
Beaten up on the inside
We try, we try, we try

[Chorus]
As long as I've got a heartbeat
As long as I got air to breathe
Long as you're here next to me, thats all i need
Oh its' the little things that give meaning, to the madness
Oh its the little things that give meaning, to the madness

[Verse 2]
We push, too far, and tempt the house of cards
Like we've got nothing to lose
I'm whole when I'm with you

[Pre-Chorus]
We do our best to get by
Oh, it's a messy life, messy life
Beaten up on the inside
We try, we try, we try
[Chorus]
As long as I've got a heartbeat
As long as I've got air to breathe
Long as you're here next to me, that's all I need
Oh its the little things that give meaning, to the madness
Oh its the little things that give meaning, to the madness

[Bridge]
Didn't see you coming
Now it's all or nothin'
Didn't see you coming
You know what you were doing
(as long as you're here next to me, that's all I need)

[Chorus]
As long as ive got a heartbeat
As long as i've got air to breathe
Long as you're here next to me, thats all i need
Oh its' the little things that give meaning, to the madness
Oh its the little things that give meaning, to the madness
Oh its the little things that give meaning, to the madness
