Embers Songtext
von PET NEEDS

"Life is so much shorter than I remember when I was younger,"
you said as you held my hand.
With eyes like embers, where once blazed a fire.
"Is this the end? Because I don′t wanna die tonight."
"Grab life by the balls, boy, and live it,
because before you know it, you'll be lying right here.
Like embers. Eyes like embers."
"Life is so much shorter than I remember when I was younger,"
you said as you held my hand.
With eyes like embers, where once blazed a fire.
You died that night.
So I′ll grab life by the balls, boy, and live it,
because before I know it, I'll be lying right there.
Like embers. Eyes like embers.
And life is so much shorter than I remember when I was younger;
can't believe that we made it this far.
And all you taught me will live on in stories that I scream to strangers on stages in bars.
You′re the last of the best in the art of honest conversation.
I swear I′ll build you something beautiful.
My future's uncertain, but your truth is my truth,
I′ll rip back that curtain and drink in the sun.
I'll grab life by the balls, boy, and live it,
because before I know it, I′ll be lying right there.
Like embers. Eyes like embers.
I didn't know what to wear to your funeral
and ended up looking like a New Romantic.
And I′d never let it show that I felt less than comfortable
on that wooden pew avoiding sideways glances.
"Life is so much shorter than I remember when I was younger,"
you said as you held my hand.
With eyes like embers, where once blazed a fire.
"Is this the end? Because I don't wanna die tonight."
