lyrics

When I woke up you were crying
You were reading someone else's diary
Laid my head against your shoulder
Like I was asleep

Oh life is taking years off my life

Let's just stay under the covers
All weeping wounds and hardened sinew
'Cause there's nothing that can snuff out
The light of life that's in you

Oh life is taking years off my life

And if it's years off mine
How are you still alive?

But I think it's going to work out
I can see it in the notes you send her
Don't know when the end is coming
But we're going there together

There are parts of us that never stop growing

We're not stopping
We're not stopping
Like fingernails inside a coffin
We're not stopping
