Survive
Somewhere between happy
And total fucking wreck
Feet sometimes on solid ground
Sometimes at the edge
To spend your waking moments
Simply killing time
Is to give up on your hopes and dreams
To give up on your-
Life for you (who we are) has been less than kind
So take a number (who we are), stand in line
We've all been sorry (who we are), we've all been hurt
But how we survive (who we are)
Is what makes us who we are
An obvious disinterest
A barely managed smile
A deep nod in agreement
A status quo exile
I shirk my obligations
I miss all your deadlines
I excel at quitting early
And fucking up my life
Life for you (who we are) has been less than kind
So take a number (who we are), stand in line
We've all been sorry (who we are), we've all been hurt
But how we survive (who we are)
Is what makes us who we are
All smiles and sunshine
A perfect world on a perfect day, aye
Everything always works out
I have never felt so fucking great
All smiles and sunshine
A perfect world on a perfect day, aye
Everything always works out
I have never felt so great
(But life isn't like this)
(Life isn't like this)
(Life isn't like this)
(Life isn't like this)
But life isn't like this
Life isn't like this
(Life isn't like this) Are we verging on an answer
Or fucking up our-?
Life for you (who we are) has been less than kind
So take a number (who we are), stand in line
We've all been sorry (who we are), we've all been hurt
But how we survive (who we are)
Is what makes us who we are
(Who we are) That's what makes us who we are
(Who we are) What makes us who we are
(Who we are) That's what makes us who we are
(Who we are)
And total fucking wreck
Feet sometimes on solid ground
Sometimes at the edge
To spend your waking moments
Simply killing time
Is to give up on your hopes and dreams
To give up on your-
Life for you (who we are) has been less than kind
So take a number (who we are), stand in line
We've all been sorry (who we are), we've all been hurt
But how we survive (who we are)
Is what makes us who we are
An obvious disinterest
A barely managed smile
A deep nod in agreement
A status quo exile
I shirk my obligations
I miss all your deadlines

And fucking up my life
Life for you (who we are) has been less than kind
So take a number (who we are), stand in line
We've all been sorry (who we are), we've all been hurt
But how we survive (who we are)
Is what makes us who we are
All smiles and sunshine
A perfect world on a perfect day, aye
Everything always works out
I have never felt so fucking great
All smiles and sunshine
A perfect world on a perfect day, aye
Everything always works out
I have never felt so great
(But life isn't like this)
(Life isn't like this)
(Life isn't like this)
(Life isn't like this)
But life isn't like this

(Who we are) That's what makes us who we are
(Who we are) What makes us who we are
(Who we are) That's what makes us who we are
(Who we are)
