Life Shrinks

Shall I wear a buttonhole to jog your memory?

So you'll recall the promise

That I swore you made to me when we were younger

You look sorry for yourself but what about?

I'm some idea you're not without a doubt

So you can put away that tongue

I don't know who I'm trying to kid

I'll find another name for you

I'll try to put the blame on you

For everything we did

Life shrinks and before you know it

You have forgotten all the cuts and bruises

Just be thankful we were only fighting for buttons

And you know by now who loses

You're only half awake because you never go to bed

And when he hears about it

You know then the both of you's is dead and that's a promise

You'll be sorry because I won't tell you again

You'll stick like that one day

And if you don't believe me go and ask St. Thomas

I don't know where it's going to stop

Spend your whole time trying to stay

From breaking down or running away

Or trying to keep up
