Lyrics

I can't remember
Much of last night but I've got
Rug burn on my upper thigh
And a migraine skull
Shrink-wrapping my mind
I can picture
Your blurry face and my
Lipstick stains on your pillowcase
And ashes like confetti
All over the place
Live for the moment
Flying over city streets
Somehow you pull me
Out of my head
Just for a moment
This life's not what it seems
But with you and nights like these
It's better than dead
(But it's better than dead)
It's Sunday morning once again
I'm more burnt out than your cigarette
And when I wake, I'll hit the cement
Hanging on by a thread
But it's better than dead
It comes in fragments
I don't know why, I see
Disco glitter under neon signs
And a lightning strike
When I locked with your eyes
And then later
Light some weed on the roof
With the taste of you, booze
And late fast food
Think I ripped my tights and
Sacrificed my youth
Live for the moment
Flying over city streets
Somehow you pull me
Out of my head
Just for a moment
This life's not what it seems
But with you and nights like these
It's better than dead
(But it's better than dead)
It's Sunday morning once again
I'm more burnt out than your cigarette
And when I wake, I'll hit the cement
Hanging on by a thread
But it's better than dead
(Hey, I know it's been a hard week
But, you're here
I mean, your heart's still beating
Just take a deep breath
And remember, even the worst night
Is better than dead)
Live for the moment
Flying over city streets
Somehow you pull me
Out of my head
Just for a moment
This life's not what we dreamed
But with you and nights like these
It's better than dead
(But it's better than dead)
It's Sunday morning once again
I'm more burnt out than your cigarette
And when I wake, I'll hit the cement
I'm never going to bed
Your eyes and the skyline are fading red
I'm chasing a fix for this pit in my chest
Guess I just might be half-alive in the end
But it's better than dead
