Verse 1
Old man walking down a sidewalk
Wooden cane by his left side
Sees a younger man jogging down the sidewalk
Both glance out of the corner of their eyes

Old man remembers his younger days
Chasing schoolgirls, being naughty and sly
Well, the one he caught he ended up marrying
He’s been lonely ever since she died

Chorus
From the first to the last and all in between
The good and the bad with the truths we believe
Learning to live with or without the drug
There’s no escaping life, loss, and love

Verse 2
Young man jogging down a sidewalk
Thinks to himself how he’ll never grow old
Got a great job, a loving family
A perfect life in this perfect world

Little does he know his wife is at home
She’s packing that big suitcase
Done with lies, lonely nights, and all the fights
Slipping away into a better life

Chorus
From the first to the last and all in between
The good and the bad with the truths we believe
Learning to live with or without the drug
There’s no escaping life, loss, and love
There’s no escaping life, loss, and love

Bridge
Wiping tears as she hustles down the road
Hope they all someday understand
No more trapped to her high school sweetheart
She needs new thrills found in this new man

Everyone has their stories to tell
How it all has come and gone
Isn’t it better to have played the game
Win or lose, just carry on

Chorus
From the first to the last and all in between
The good and the bad with the truths we believe
Learning to live with or without the drug
There’s no escaping life, loss, and love
There’s no escaping life, loss, and love
There’s just no escaping
