Bored To Death

There's an echo pulling out the meaning

Rescuing a nightmare from a dream

The voices in my head are always screaming

That none of this means anything to me

And it's a long way back from seventeen

The whispers turn into a scream

And I'm not coming home

Save your breath I'm nearly

Bored to death and fading fast

Life is too short to last long

Back on earth I'm broken

Lost and cold and fading fast

Life is too short to last long

There's a stranger staring at the ceiling

Rescuing a tiger from a tree

The pictures in her head are always dreaming

Each of them means everything to me

And it's a long way back from seventeen

The whispers turn into a scream

And I'm not coming home

Save your breath I'm nearly

Bored to death and fading fast

Life is too short to last long

Back on earth I'm broken

Lost and cold and fading fast

Life is too short to last long

I think I met her at the minute that the rhythm was set down

I said I'm sorry I'm a bit of a let down

But all my friends are daring me to come over

So I come over and over and over

So let me buy you a drink

And we'll pretend that you think

That I'm the man of your dreams

Come to life in a dive bar

And we'll go over and over and over

And we'll go over and over and over

And we'll go over and over and over

And we'll go over and over and over

Save your breath I'm nearly

Bored to death and fading fast

Life is too short to last long

Back on earth I'm broken

Lost and cold and fading fast

Life is too short to last long
