The second verse is based on a Les Paul quote in NYTimes:

when you're my age

and you know the end is in sight

how do you handle it?

you live for the moment

the past is gone

and the future isn't here yet

and you ain't gonna change it

no matter what you think

and so the most obvious thing to do is right now

(thanks for everything, Les Paul!)

——————————————————————————

somethings are every where

somethings happen every day

somethings never go away

and somethings never stay

for somethings I don't have a care

and these are things I would never say

if something got broke today

something else we'll have to play

nothing is everything to me

nowhere is everywhere to me

no one is everyone to me

can't you see

can't you see

when you're my age

and see the end in sight

how do you live with it?

just live this time...it's right

the past is gone

and the future isn't yet

you ain't gonna change it, no

no matter what you bet

nothing is everything to me

nowhere is everywhere to me

no one is everyone to me

can't you see

the most obvious time to live is right    now

nothing is everything to me

nowhere is everywhere to me

no one is everyone to me

nothing is everything to me
