"Gravestone" lyrics

I try to be cool and I try to be brave
And I try not to send myself to the grave
Before I've seen it through
Wake up and decide, keep my eyes on the prize
And I won't even feel that my back's on your knife
Until I've seen it through

Spending all my time, oh pretending that I'm, oh
Pulling out my heart
But I could spend ages putting nonsense on pages
And pass it off as art

I hope I work it out and I hope it ain't for nothing
And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin
Of my gravestone, gravestone
One that has your name on, name on
I hope I work it out and I hope it ain't for nothing
And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin
Of my gravestone, gravestone
One that has your name on, name on

Try not to reach all the heights or to breach all the terms and conditions
Of the life that we seek, life's a bitch, life's a beach
And I'm drowning in the sea
I'm trying to stay cool and fight in the oncoming whitey
I don't smoke anymore, but I'm pretending that I do
So you think I'm cool

Spending all my time, oh pretending that I'm, oh
Pulling out my heart
But I could spend ages putting nonsense on pages
And pass it off as art

I hope I work it out and I hope it ain't for nothing
And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin
Of my gravestone, gravestone
One that has your name on, name on
I hope I work it out and I hope it ain't for nothing
And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin
Of my gravestone, gravestone
One that has your name on, name on

I don't mind whatever my fate is
As long as I can reincarnate and
I'd live a thousand lives and I'd die a thousand times
Just to get one more chance at another by your side
Oh, I don't mind whatever my fate is
As long as I can reincarnate and
I'd live a thousand lives and I'd die a thousand times
Just to get one more chance at another by your side
Oh, I don't mind whatever my fate is
As long as I can reincarnate and
I'd live a thousand lives and I'd die a thousand times
Just to get one more chance, to get one more chance, oh

I hope I work it out and I hope it ain't for nothing
And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin
Of my gravestone, gravestone
One that has your name on, name on
I hope I work it out and I hope it ain't for nothing
And I'm hoping I earn my place in the coffin
Of my gravestone, gravestone
One that has your name on, name on
