The Shins It's Only Life song lyrics

Dyed in the wool you've been cornered by a natural desire

You wanna hop along the with the giddy throng through life

But how you did learn to steer when you're grinding all you gears

You've been talking for hours

you say time will wash every tower to the sea

And now you got this worry in your heart

Well I guess it's only life it's only natural

We all spend a little while going down the rabbit hole

The things they taught you lining up to haunt you

They got your back against the wall

I called on you on the telephone won't you pick up the receiver

I've been down the very road you're walking now

It doesn't have to be so dark and lonesome

Takes a while till we can figure this thing out and turn it back around

You use to be such a lion before you got into all this crying on my lap

Back when you thought I'd never get this far

But did you really think I'd shut an opened door

The futures calling and I'm answer

The wheels in motion but I never drink your potion

And I know it breaks your heart

Open up your parachute something's got to stop the free fall

I've been down of every road that youre walking now

It doesn't have to be so dark and lonesome

Takes a while till we can figure this thing out and turn it back around
