Lifers

Last week I thought about you on the Autobahn

Backlit, on the edge of the forest, blissed out with headphones on

Listening to deathbed confessionals

Want to find someone more dependable

Instead of me and my guillotine

Said you thought I was a lifer too

Every time we're back here you feel sick

That twin bed makes you feel like a kid

You apologize to me cause you can't help it

It's the notion that your body is never gonna change

The baby fat that's hiding in your cheeks won't fade and

You're not sure why, when you leave the house you circle the block to cry

So do you think that we'll outrun it, get past the pain of simply being?

Every time you want out of your body, or can't get your head around this dream

You swore you loved it more when you couldn't guess the end

It's never adding up, but don't write yourself out of the equation

I see the crash down in the canyon

Let the wheel drift towards the median

Pretend you're not paying attention

We hit the ditch and flip

Suddenly my wrist is broken

I ask if you're okay with your head wide open

You smile for my benefit, 'cause no, you aren't

So do you think that we'll outrun it, get past the pain of simply being?

Every time you want out of your body, can't get your head around this dream

You swore you loved it more when you couldn't guess the end

It's never adding up, but don't write yourself out of the equation

So do you think that we'll outrun it, get past the pain of simply being?

Every time you want out of your body, can't get your head around this dream

You swore you loved it more when you couldn't guess the end

It's never adding up, but don't write yourself out of the equation
