Live Long

lyrics

I can live long
Not while you're watching so turn around
I can live long
With my head in my hands and my feet on the ground
And my posters falling from the wall of your old room at your old house
And it could've been better
It could've been better
It could've been better
It could've been better somewhere else
Without those thousand tiny hidey-holes
And you maybe suspect that it's maybe my fault
And all the spectators all feel the same way
And it could've been better
It could've been better
It could've been better
It could've been bad
It could've been bad
It could've been we never learned to work together
And even though it's almost over, we just need to keep our eyes wide open
We just need to keep our eyes wide open

I don't mean to hide, I'm just overwhelmed all the time
And I'm fighting every day to tell you, there's pieces of you with me
These pieces last while we're still seeming
Like we're trying to find meaning
So hold still, and sink, and heal
Rush and know
Talk and grow
Learn
Pull
Feel full inside
Say what you mean
Enjoy the day
This day's not for me

And I love you, I still love you
And I love you, I still love you
And I (STILL) love you (YEAH)
I (STILL) love you (YEAH)
And if I don't live long, I hope you know what I mean when I say
That I (STILL) love you (YEAH)
I (STILL) love you (YEAH)
