Wonderful Life Lyrics – Tom Odell

[Verse 1]
The little boy at the airport waving his father goodbye
The lover in the bedroom saying, “I’m sorry I lied”
The small plastic window fills with iridescent light
The Devil and an angel with their eternal fight

[Chorus]
What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life

[Verse 2]
The spider in the kitchen tryna stay out of the cold
The parents’ girl in the bathroom, she’s wearing her grandmother’s gold
Church bells are ringing, somebody must have died
The eyes of the animal frozen in the headlights

[Chorus]
They saying
Oh, what a wonderful life
What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life

[Verse 3]
The skinhead in the handcuffs blowing his mother a kiss
The student at the protest wiping the blood off her lips
The fireworks exploding, the clock strikes midnight
And I’m sat here watching, gripping the wheel so tight

[Chorus]
What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life
What a wonderful life, oh

[Outro]
St. Peter’s calling
St. Peter’s calling
St. Peter’s calling
And I don’t when to die, die
No, no I don’t when to die
