We Love to Live in Hell (Live)
Mary, I miss you hanging around, talking soft, and getting stoned
But you packed up and you got out about a year ago
I hope Seattle is as good as it looks in all the pictures that you post
You are smiling by the ocean
You look happy to be home
When we talk, I say I hate it here
And you say, "You could leave, you know"
I know I know I know
But I love to live in hell, it's just for now
Tomorrow I'll get out
We are the lies we tell ourselves
It's a fine place to be, it's not a good place to stay
I keep staying anyway running in place
It's easy to plan an escape, but it's hard to make a change
It feels like hubris to assume that changing scenery could change my life
To think a different city could make me a better person
Well, that feels like a fat fucking lie
I've got this nice, big apartment with all this space for all of my stuff
But when your home state's so suffocating, no big big house will ever be enough
This place will never be enough
But I love to live in hell, it's just for now
Tomorrow I'll get out
We are the lies we tell ourselves
It's a fine place to be, it's not a good place to stay
I keep staying anyway running in place
It's easy to plan an escape
Now, Mary, you're in Alaska watching the Northern Lights
And I'm in Nebraska watching the time crawl by
Someday I'll stop treading water through my life
But tomorrow keeps on running from tonight
Someday I'll stop fucking up my life
But I love to live in hell, it's just for now
Tomorrow I'll get out
We are the lies we tell ourselves
It's a fine place to be, it's not a good place to stay
I keep staying anyway running in place
It's easy to plan an escape
but it's hard to make a change
But you packed up and you got out about a year ago
I hope Seattle is as good as it looks in all the pictures that you post
You are smiling by the ocean
You look happy to be home
When we talk, I say I hate it here
And you say, "You could leave, you know"
I know I know I know
But I love to live in hell, it's just for now
Tomorrow I'll get out
We are the lies we tell ourselves
It's a fine place to be, it's not a good place to stay
I keep staying anyway running in place
It's easy to plan an escape, but it's hard to make a change
It feels like hubris to assume that changing scenery could change my life
To think a different city could make me a better person
Well, that feels like a fat fucking lie
I've got this nice, big apartment with all this space for all of my stuff
But when your home state's so suffocating, no big big house will ever be enough

It's a fine place to be, it's not a good place to stay
I keep staying anyway running in place
It's easy to plan an escape
but it's hard to make a change
