Cut the ribbon
Never thought I'd find my lungs empty
Living in and out of love
Just waiting to breathe
Take a little bit of time and then I think you'll find
there's Nothing
Because everybody dies eventually
I'm Staring out the window
watching all the people walk by
It's kind of funny how we tell ourselves
That things will be fine
Take a little bit of time and then I think you'll find
There's nothing
Because everybody lies you wait and see
(Chorus)
But then you wake up
and find
nothing in this world is for free
and all you've got left to lose in this life is me
I'm coming down the mountain
slipping in and out of a dream
in the back of the bus
I hold my head up and scream
If you where only here right now then I would make you see
there's nothing
Because everybody hides then tells on me
Well I've got a lot of reasons why I wouldn't take you back
but then again I spend a lot of time falling off track
If you where only here right now then I would make you see
there's nothing
Because everybody tries then disagrees
(Chorus)
But then you wake up
and find
Nothing in this world is for free
and all you've got left to lose in this life is me.
(Bridge)
Death on a Sunday afternoon
When you get this letter I'll be coming home soon
(Whoooh)
Because everybody dies eventually.
