I Live With It Every Day — текст песни (Barenaked Ladies)

Words & music by stephen duffy & steven page



On august first, nineteen-eight-one

I cycled to scotts house with a bb gun

We were almost twelve, but we looked thirteen

He had baby-blue eyes that I shot him between

Nature provides for us a safety net

Whatever we do, we can never forget



Chorus:

I live with it every day

Even though we moved away

Our yesterdays are on a loop;

A marathon of heartbreaking moments

I live with it every day

For every step I have to pay

The only thing that they cant take

The guild that spirals in my wake



The day they found me asleep on the floor

Engine running, closed garage door

Was the day the for sale sign arrived on the lawn

Two weeks later, and we were gone

Everyone falls through time and the funnel it makes

But Im staying here inside my biggest mistake



Chorus



The love I put away

Like games that children play

The hearts you choose to break

Like cars dumped in the lake

The laugh lines on your face

The life I wont embrace

The cold house I wont leave

The guests I wont receive



Chorus
