"Lifers" lyrics

"Lifers"

Last week I thought about you on the autobahn
Backlit on the edge of the forest
Blissed out with headphones on
Listening to deathbed confessionals
Want to find someone more dependable
Instead of me and my guillotine
Said you thought I was a lifer too

Every time we're back here you feel sick
That twin bed makes you feel like a kid
You apologize to me cause you can't help it
It's the notion that your body is never gonna change
The baby fat that's hiding in your cheeks won't fade
And you're not sure why
But when you leave the house you circle the block to cry

So do you think that we'll outrun it?
Get past the pain of simply being?
Every time you want out of your body
Or can't get your head around this dream
You swore you loved it more
When you couldn't guess the end
It's never adding up
But don't write yourself out of the equation

I see the crash down in the canyon
Let the wheel drift towards the median
Pretend you're not paying attention
We hit the ditch and flip - suddenly my wrist is broken
I ask if you're okay with your head wide open
You smile for my benefit, cause no you aren't

So do you think that we'll outrun it?
Get past the pain of simply being?
Every time you want out of your body
Or can't get your head around this dream
You swore you loved it more
When you couldn't guess the end
It's never adding up
But don't write yourself out of the equation

So do you think that we'll outrun it?
Get past the pain of simply being?
Every time you want out of your body
Or can't get your head around this dream
You swore you loved it more
When you couldn't guess the end
It's never adding up
But don't write yourself out of the equation
