It’s Only Life - The Shins

Died in the world, you’ve been cornered by a natural desire

You want to hop along with the giddy throng through life

But how will you learn to steer when you’re grinding all your gears?

You’ve been talking for hours

You say time will wash every tower to the sea

And now you’ve got this worry in your heart

Well I guess it’s only life, it’s only natural

We all spend a little while going down the rabbit hole

The things they taught you, they’re lining up to haunt you

You got your back against the wall

I call you on the telephone, won’t you pick up the receiver?

I’ve been down the very road you’re walking now

It doesn’t have to be so dark and lonesome

It takes a while but we can figure this thing out

And turn it back around

You used to be such a lion

Before you got into all this crying on my lap

Back when you thought I’d never get this far

But did you really think I’d shut an open door?

The future’s calling and Imma answer her

The wheels in motion, I never drank your potion

And I know it breaks your heart

Open up your parachute, something’s gotta stop the freefall

I’ve been down the very road you’re walking now

It doesn’t have to be so dark and lonesome

It takes a while but we can figure this thing out

And turn it back around
