Band Of Horses - How To Live With lyrics

rate me

When I'm giving advice to the others

I take more than I can give

It’s a bird's eye view

Of what I want you to do or how to live

I really don't have to suffer

I still do it anyway

I'm a diamond in the rough

Or I'm a dirt clod in the clay

Guess what, I lost my job it's just my luck

Reveal you've always been the actor

And those puppy dogs eyes

One of y'all's telling the truth the other one is lying

It's someone else's fault so often,

You're getting rude or getting tossed

It's a great big world darling

Your translation is just a little off

So what, you made a mistake that you tried to hide

The tiny, the tiniest he gets a little bit larger every day

And it grows until it's out of control.

I been giving my advice to otters,

I try to tell them how to live,

A little lie, a bit of truth, what I'd like

For you to do and how to get it.

I really didn't need to suffer

I still did it anyway

What a great big world

I better find some way to explain it.

Guess what, you're getting old

You still got to grow up.
