When it ends
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So nevermind
Guess I'll just see myself out now
Take my winter coat and hang it out
To dry, by my own bed
We'll never change
Doesn't matter if we act our age
Skip the funeral and walk away
And learn, from our mistakes
We're building on the back of
Machine gun fire
Filling up the yard with our
Slip joint pliers
Searching for a song that
Can soothe us
Acting like we've nothin' to lose
Until it all burns down
The golden state
Was all we knew until
It washed away
But we'll pretend that it'll be okay
And wave from the jet bridge
And when it ends
We'll be happy that we
Had the chance
To glimpse a life,
To know that we exist
To take all we wanted
We're building on the
Back of machine gun fire
Filling up the yard with
Our slip joint pliers
Searching for a song
That can soothe us
Acting like we've
Nothin' to lose
Until it all burns down
We're building on the
Back of machine gun fire
Filling up the yard with
Our slip joint pliers
Searching for a song
That can soothe us
Acting like we've
Nothin' to lose
Until it all burns down
