See These Bones Songtext

von Nada Surf

Everyone is right
And no one is sorry
That is the start and the end of the story
From the sharks and the jets
To the call in the morning

Everyone is right
And no one is sorry
It is the start and the end of the story
From the sharks and the jets
To the call in the morning
And life is just bets anyway

Look alive
See these bones
What you are now we were once
Try it as they the might
No one is immune to
Misfiring and acting on the wrong clues
And thinking this time to re-do, re-do

I feel rain in the movies
And the talk before the screen lights
I hear strings in the park
I don't like to call or write
Except when is too late at night and
I am mostly just thinking in the dark

Look alive
See these bones
What you are now we were once
Just like we are
You will be dust
Just like we are
Permanent

You look too tired to eat
Too hungry to sleep
Just imagine the speed
It is just what you need

Look out life
You see these bones
What you are now
We were once
And just like we are
You will be dust
Just like we are
Permanent

The lights in the city
Are more or less blinking
This side of the story
Decides what you are thinking
Warm arms and cold faces
We're squinting, we're hurrying
We are taking inventory
We're digging and we're burying it.

Do you remember when the light was low?
Do you remember it fell?
Do you remember when we went through her house?
Remember ringing the bell?

Look alive
See these bones
What you are now
We were once
Just like we are
You will be dust
Just like we are
Permanent
