Lyrics

[Verse 1]
We'll make it down slowly
Discover our hearts are dumb
There's nothing that holy
In loving like drunk kids love
And I've forgotten
Where I was
I see you in spotlights
In visions I'm saving now
Before we are parted
By rivers of words somehow
I'm still besotted
But sobered up
[Chorus]
So let's drink
Drink the best wine now
While we're strong and we are proud
Until lightning strikes us down
And you'll eat
Eat till you are full
Cutting straight through all the bull
I will accept you, warts and all
[Verse 2]
It's weird and unnerving
Forsaking my old life now
'Cause this a burden
I can't seem to do without
When time is rotten
We soldier on
I wanna be nearer
I wanna be close behind
A little bit clearer
A little bit hard to find
And I've forgotten who I was
[Chorus]
So let's drink
Drink the best wine now
While we're strong and we are proud
Until lightning strikes us down
And you'll speak
Speak till you are whole
What is clear is what is gold
You're only human after all
[Verse 3]
Our time is short
Our time is short
Our time is short
Our time is short
