I Came Back To Life

I know what you'll say before you even start
I've got you mistaken for somebody else
But you can hardly say that it's my fault
That you're not present to defend yourself
I remember when you got your first tattoo
Zombie Jesus and you made your Mama cry
She said, "You know that lasts forever"
"No Ma, it lasts until I die"

I never been the one that quits
No, I'm the one that does CPR for forty-five minutes
But once you've broken all the ribs
Girl you gotta admit that this love is finished
There's some things that you can't bring back
There's some things that you can't revive
After all, life didn't come back to me, no
I came back to life

Burning plastic smell wafts in from the kitchen
A rat must've chewed through the wire
Now we ain't only lost our house, hon
We got ourselves a little forest fire
A ballooning cloud of ash and smoke
Oh, I see you got out in front of it
I think your love's a joke, and if you think that hurts
Try being the butt of it

I never been the one that quits
No, I'm the one that does CPR for forty-five minutes
But once you've broken all the ribs
Girl you gotta admit that this love is finished
There's some things that you can't bring back
There's some things that you can't revive
After all, life didn't come back to me, no
I came back

I only finally found my feet
I was on free fall for sort of awhile
I curl my lip and bare my teeth
It's sort of a snarl, but it's also sort of a smile
There's some days I'm almost optimistic
I even had a two week stretch where I didn't cry
I'm taking a little space from forgiveness
Don't think it's 'cause I didn't try

I never been the one that quits
No, I'm the one that does CPR for forty-five minutes
But once you've broken all the ribs
Girl you gotta admit that this love is finished
There's some things that you can't bring back
There's some things that you can't revive
After all, life didn't come back to me, no
I came back

There's some things that you can't bring back
There's some things that you can't revive
After all, life didn't come back to me, no
I came back to life
