Life As We Know It

Tie me in a phone chord from the 90's
I won't let you run, mom, I swear I'm sorry
Kindly open the door to the pond
Feeling insecure about the story

This is our life as we know it
This is our life, let's live it
This is our life as we know it
This is our life, let's give it up

I was a comrade, you were a local
Feeling much obliged to be social
Irritate my mind, I'm trigger happy
While we spend our lives in a sad beat

All the things you meant to say to me
You took them to the grave for goodness sake
All the things you meant to say to me
Are on repeat in your thick skull

Oval Office, immigration
Criminals in friendships at the station
I was a coffin in a cottage
You were up coughing up all your knowledge

All your problems, they return
All your water has dried up

This is our life as we know it
This is our life, let's live it
This is our life as we know it
This is our life, let's give it up

I was open to every knot
A real murder mystery without the plot
A superspreader is history
Efforts come and go and blow back to the sea

The city lights are like a million fireflies
I don't know if I like this life
