Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was born on a bad sign
Saw the best in the worst times
Had a run with some good lines
All fear and alibi
Had a laugh for a good while
And all my tears were crocodile
I came down hard a million miles away
And here I am
[Verse 2]
So let it fall around our feet
I'm with you, and you're with me
And you're the only one I think about these days
We may win, or we may lose
All I know is that I'd choose it all again
And how I feel could never fade
Life is funny that way
That way
[Verse 3]
I was raised on a fault line
Thought the faults were all mine
I drank so hard I almost died
Most of the time
But what the hell do I know
When I just go where the wind blows?
All this time, and all I know
Is I don't know so much
[Verse 4]
So let it fall around our feet
I'm with you, and you're with me
And you're the only one I think about these days
We may win, or we may lose
All I know is that I'd choose it all again
And how I feel could never fade
[Verse 5]
How now?
[Verse 6]
I never thought that I was enough
I never thought I pulled my weight
I painted the lines until I was drawn
But I'm not sure that that looks like me
[Verse 7]
I was born on a bad sign
Saw the best in the worst times
Singin' all of the wrong lines all my life
[Verse 8]
So let it fall around our feet
I'm with you, and you're with me
And you're the only one I think about these days
We may win, or we may lose
All I know is that I'd choose it all again
And how I feel could never fade
Oh, life is funny that way
That way
