still life

out on the porch swing like some old painting, he seems like he don't move at all, and somewhere a bell rings and he's just remembering, the last time that she ever called, he picks up the phone and he says to the dial tone, "it's still life without you and i still hold on, what it feels like you can't go by that, it's still life, still life without you", the chances were given to get on with livin', the truth is that he never tried, and no one ever sees him, most folks don't even, remember which one of 'em died, but he still denies it, he closes his eyes and, it's still life without you and i still hold on, what it feels like you can't go by that, it's still life, still life without you, oh, still life, still life without you, out on the porch swing like some old painting, he seems like he don't move at all
