Eternal youth like a baby’s tooth
you ain’t ever gonna get this wisdom tooth out of me
Shy away from the altar call i’m still reeling from my fall
Brother’s dead, sister’s ill what am i supposed to do
Just take it for what it is
Whatever you do i’ll take the blame
A minute of ecstasy can be a lifetime of shame
We’re afflicted in all of the same ways
i’m charmed by everything that you say
You kiss me with hands so familiar
on freeways where angel sightings occur
Bored by the radio we never felt the same
We traded our youth for a lifetime of pain
Why don’t you just tell me that one story so that you don’t ever forget
I met the patron saint of april fools, she said life is a game you must learn to break all the rules and not a single soul comes out unscathed but that’s the price we all pay
If you ask me to run i’ll run with you
If you ask me to drive i would drive till the road was through
