| You’re laying here with a bird’s eye view of a body no longer belongs to you
|
| And you’re scared that the past 3 haven’t lived past their 60's and if you
|
| break the trend
|
| You’ll just end up like the old folks at Roland and 3939
|
| And you’re scared because you’re an army brat of a man who died before his time
|
| And I miss those summers, that grill smell, home cooked meals
|
| Take me back
|
| Sleeping like a log and healing so fast
|
| But losing you, I learned to lose my youth, lose my spirit
|
| And now I can’t hear it anymore, anymore
|
| And I guess that’s life
|
| And I guess that’s life
|
| Back then our body parts stayed in place
|
| And I guess that’s life, and I guess that’s life
|
| We kept up with our own hearts
|
| It was so easy to temper the sting
|
| Just be fixed by a quick dip back in some old neighbor’s swimming pool
|
| Now I’m just worn out
|
| And I’ll ache like this forever I think
|
| These shoddy drapes refuse to keep the cold out
|
| And this damn body can’t keep the warmth in
|
| And I’m watching my hairline recede
|
| I’m drinking fatigue, I’m fighting heredity
|
| I see less of who we love the most
|
| Time’s getting away and we’re so slow to see how fast it goes
|
| And I’m just looking, I’m just looking for
|
| What’s coming, what’s built in the blood
|
| And I’m just looking, I’m just looking for
|
| What’s coming, what’s built in the blood
|
| And I’m just looking, I’m just looking for
|
| What’s coming, what’s built in the blood
|
| But I’ve never been that sure of anything anyway
|
| And I don’t want to heal, and I’m just about the perfect amount to look how I
|
| feel
|
| And I think about you laying there, waiting for her to get back
|
| And I think about your last 3 breaths and I wonder if you knew
|
| And I wonder if you knew
|
| And I think about you letting go
|
| And I think about you letting go
|
| And I guess that’s life |
