Lives - Modest Mouse

Everyone’s afraid of their own life

If you could be anything you want

I bet you’d be disappointed, am I right?

No one really knows the ones they love

If you knew everything they thought

I bet that you would wish that they’d just shut up

Well, you were the dull sound of sharp math when you were alive

No one’s going to play the harp when you die

And if I had a nickel for every damn dime

I’d have half the time, do you mind?

Everyone’s afraid of their own lives

If you could be anything you want

I bet you’d be disappointed, am I right?

Am I right?

Am I right?

Am I right?

Am I right?

Am I right?

Am I right?

And it’s our lives

It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember we’re alive

For the first time

It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember we’re alive

For the last time

It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember to live

Before you die

It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember that our lives

Are such a short time

It’s hard to remember, it’s hard to remember when it takes

Such a long time

It’s hard to remember

It’s hard to remember

My mom’s God is a woman, and my mom, she is a witch

I like this

My hell comes from inside, comes from inside myself

Why fight this?

Everyone’s afraid of their own life

If you could be anything you want

I bet you’d be disappointed, am I right?
