Vanity - Jay Johnson

It’s been 18 years, filled with laughter and a river of tears

Now I think I have the soul of a tired, old man

The things we have and the things we can see

Are the only things that matter or so it seems to be

Especially when things are going as planned

Everything we know

Everything we have

Won’t forever belong to us

Everything we own

Everything we are is all vanity

I just hope when they’re gone

You’re strong enough

216 months

Of playing it safe and stupid stunts

Now I know the sun will rise and the sun will set

But if your obsessions lie within worldly possessions

Then I hate to say but one day you’ll regret

Everything we own

Everything we have

Won’t forever belong to us

Everything we own

Everything we have is all vanity

I just hope when they’re gone

You’re strong enough

Outro

I hate to be the one to say this

But we all know it’s true so let’s not pretend

All the things that we have, we will one day miss

Because everything must come to an end
