MODEST MOUSE LYRICS - Lives

"Lives"



Everyone's afraid of their own life

If you could be anything you want

I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right?

No one really knows the ones they love

If you knew everything they thought

I bet that you'd wish that they'd just shut up

Well, you were the dull sound of sharp math

When you were alive

No ones gonna play the harp when you die

And if I had a nickel for every damn dime

I'd have half the time, do you mind?

Everyone's afraid of their own lives

If you could be anything you want

I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right?

Am I right? And it's our lives

It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember

We're alive for the first time

It's hard to remember were alive for the last time

It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember

To live before you die

It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember

That our lives are such a short time

It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember

When it takes such a long time

It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember:

My mom's God is a woman and my mom she is a witch

I like this

My hell comes from inside, comes from inside myself

Why fight this

Everyone's afraid of their own lives

If you could be anything you want

I bet you'd be disappointed, am I right?
