"Never Been Born" lyrics

"Never Been Born"

These old bones
Don't feel so old
When I'm home with you

When I'm not with you
I'm getting drunk with college kids
Relearning lessons that didn't stick

Telling lies to stay interested

These old bones
Don't feel so old
When I'm home with you

In bed with your youth
The way your skin sticks to your ribs
The way my hips fit in your hips

I'm 18 again
Dependent like an infant
I'm content like I've never been born

But I was born
To a rose and her thorn
When they were about
As old as I am now

These old bones
Don't feel so old
When I'm home with you

When I'm not with you
I'm shitting blood and puking piss
Sweating bile and awkwardness

It's a young man's game
And about time I quit
