The Lawrence Arms

Lyrics

I was born and I died
And just a moment went by
I was a son and a brother
I stared out over the water
Waves crashed on the shore
This is day that I was born

I burn on
I burn on
Autumn gold beneath my feet
Walk through the city while it sleeps
This is the day that I was born

Caught snowflakes on my tongue
I thought I knew what love was
A thousand pushpins in a map
Only to prove I could exist
Don’t hold on too hard
To the way that everything was

I burn on
I burn on
Endless summer in my heart
I’m not afraid to fall apart
This is the day that I was born

My eyes are fading
Half-lives spilled on
Handwritten pages
She’s already sleeping
I just lay here
And listen to her breathing

Autumn gold beneath my feet
Endless summer in my heart
This is the day that I was born

I was born and I died
And just a moment went by
