NADA SURF LYRICS - See These Bones

"See These Bones"



Everyone's right and no one is sorry

That's the start and the end of this story

From the sharks and the jets

To the call in the morning



Everyone's right and no one is sorry

That's the start and the end of this story

From the sharks and the jets

To the call in the morning

And life is just bets anyway



Look alive, see these bones

What you are now, we were once



Try as they might, no one's immune to

Misfiring and acting on the wrong clues

And thinkin' it's time to redo and redo



I feel rain in the movies and the talk before the screen lights

I hear strings in the park

I don't like to call her right, except when its too late at night

I mostly just think in the dark



Look alive, see these bones

What you are now, we were once

Just like we are, you'll be dust

And just like we are, permanent



You were too tired to eat, too hungry to sleep

Just imagine the speed, it's just what you need



Look alive, see these bones

What you are now, we were once

And just like we are, you'll be dust

And just like we are, permanent



The lights in the city are more or less blinking

Which side of the story decides what you're thinking

Warm arms and cold faces

We're squinting, we're hurrying

We take inventory

We're digging, we're burrying



Do you remeber when the light was low

Do you remember when it fell

Do you remember when you went to her house, remember ringing the bell



Look alive, see these bones

What you are now, we were once

Just like we are, you'll be dust

Just like we are, permanent
