The Shins - It's Only Life lyrics

rate me

Died in the war you have been

Cornered by your natural desire

You wanna hop along with the giddy throng through life

How are you meant to steer when you're grinding all your gears

You have been talking for hours

You said time will wash every tower to the sea

Now you have got this worry in your heart

Well it guess its all life is all natural

We all spend a little while going down the rabbit whole

The things they taught you come back to hunt you

They got your back against the wall

Call you on the telephone

Won’t you pick up the receiver

I have been down the very road you are walking now

It doesn’t have to be so dark and lonsome

Take a while till we figure this thing out

And turn it back around

You've used to be such a lion

Before you got into all this crying on my lap

Back when you Thought I would never get this far

But did your really think I shut an open door

The future is calling and I am gonna answer

The wheels in motion I never drank you're potion

And I know it breaks your heart

Open up the parachute something has got to stop the free fall

I have been down the very road you are walking now

It doesn’t have to be so dark and lonesome

Take a while till we figure this out

Turn it back around

The Shins - It's Only Life
