lyrics

Oh, watch as my world crumbles
Watch as I'm slowly pulled apart
She sighs and says "I should've warned you"
"Don't be afraid to move on, kid"

And the leaves are slowly changing
And my sense of self is fading
I'm just looking for some place to call my home
I know I'm out of line now
And I'm searching my home for a sign yeah
She said "darling, home's just where you put your things"
She said "someday soon you'll get it"
But what she really meant was
"Life is never good (until you're dead)"

Oh, the ropes are lain neatly in a row
You've tied me limb by limb I know
One shot and the fear in horses shows
And watch as in different ways they go

She said "someday soon you'll get it"
But what she really meant was
"Life is never good (until you're dead)"

She signs with her hands, and she talks with her feet
They say "remember you're mortal"
And that "love cannot see"
I knew once she saw me
I thought love was still blind
But she saw me then another
And she left me behind

And the leaves are slowly changing
And my sense of self is fading
I'm just looking for some place to call my home
I know I'm out of line now
And I'm searching my home for a sign yeah
She said "darling, home's just where you put your things"
She said "someday soon you'll get it"
But what she really meant was
"Life is never good (until you're dead)"
