Metric - Live It Out lyrics

On the day we were supposed to leave

You changed your mind at the station

You had a nice apartment

There was a good bar downstairs

Your old friend worked there

I'll go anyway, I'll go anyway

They won't refund the ticket

It's a good story

But I don't want to live it alone

Crash to take a chance

I wanna live it out

Look at you, I know I'm already dead

No concrete adversity

Only traps of our own actions

How we wanted it to be

Now I'm never gonna see you again

You turned off

Vertabrae by vertebrae

Roll your way out of a coma

Look up, the nurse is smiling

What luck, the nurse is me

Your old body is dead

Your body's dead, you're a word instead

In my sleep I repeat it

It's a good story

But I don't want to live it alone

Crash to take a chance

We were gonna live it out

Look at you, you're already dead

How will you remember me

Digging ditches out of boredom

Said you would never leave

Now you're never gonna be here again

You checked out

Dum dum dum dum dum

Sha la la la la

Dum dum dum dum dum
