Modest Mouse Your Life Lyrics

Everyone's afraid of their own life
If you could be anything you want to be
You'd be disappointed, am I right?
No one really knows the ones they love
If you knew everything they thought
I bet that you'd wish that they'd just shut up

Well, you were the dull sound of sharp math
When you were alive
Not ones gonna play the harp when you die
And if I had a nickel for every damn dime
I'd have half the time, do you mind?

Everyone's afraid of their own lives
If you could be anything you want I bet
You'd be disappointed, am I right, am I right?
And it's our lives

It's hard to remember
It's hard to remember
We're alive for the first time It's hard to remember
It's hard to remember
We're alive for the last time

It's hard to remember
It's hard to remember
To live before you die
It's hard to remember
It's hard to remember
That our lives are such a short time

It's hard to remember
It's hard to remember
When it takes such a long time
It's hard to remember
It's hard to remember

My mom's God is a woman
And my mom she is a witch
I like this
My hell comes from inside
Comes from inside myself
Why fight this

Everyone's afraid of their own life
If you could be anything you want I bet
You'd be disappointed, am I right?
