Life & Death She & I Songtext
von These United States

I went to see a painting
I only found a frame
I entered the way I′d later leave
And left the way I came

I left under a crumbling arch
I walked right through the stone
My one foot following the other
The only way I know

I'm just a-biding my time
I′m just a-biding my time
'Till I die
'Till I die


Still, there are many things I′ve learned to love about life
I said, "I′m just a Mama's boy, aching for a little affection"
She said, "I′m just a Daddy's girl, dying for a little direction"
How′s that for traction

And now, I'm just a-biting my tongue
I′m just a-biting my tongue, useless and young
Useless and young
Still, there's a certain relief when you're under the gun

I said, I′m just a Mama′s boy, talking towards a possible treasure
She said, I'm just a Daddy′s girl, looking for a meaningful lecture
Let's get together, and oh

We′ll just a-bide all our time
We'll just hold all our tongues like we knew how to die
Do we know how to die?
I hear that′s a corner to turn at the end of the line

You go to see a painting
You only find a frame
You enter the way you'll later leave
And leave the way you came
