You've been working all your life
All weekends and overtime
While you're trying to unwind
You can't relate to the leisured life
Another day meanders by
Keeping nature's tabled time
All these things just pass you by
And you can't relax in a scheduled life

Promises already gone
There's no escape it's said and done
So keep your love forever young

You've been trying to decide
Multiply or just divide
All these things are on your mind
And you can't relax in a leisured life

Promises already gone
There's no escape it's said and done
So keep your love forever young

    General Comment:In my opinion megan6000 is closest. You may not have the time to do what you want, but if you have love, then it doesn't matter because simply watching TV with your partner, being with them, is enough. I love this song.

    General Comment:It's neither. The first two verses talk about working hard all throughout life and not being able to relax instead. Life has its own pace but you can't relate to that because you're always on a schedule.
