Life We Chose

Intro: verse 1 Hourglass inside of my bones Trapped inside a picture frame above your throat You were someone else when I was too Weren't we someone else, wasn't I? N.C. Weren't you? Instrumental verse 2 But giving up is harder said than done Throwing stones, set love on fire We thought we'd won I thought I was the man that you thought I was too But he went away He ran away with that girl I thought was you But we both know this is the life we chose We both know that the hourglass inside my bones Will wither down and run out of time We'll try to mend it but we'll end up dying We both know this is the life that we chose verse 3 So teary-eyed and desperate we manifest Into a creature brought on by fear of a destiny we dread Our four walls come down but somehow the roof suspends It changed to a cloud, and down comes the rain as we near the end But we both know this is the life we chose We both know that the hourglass inside my bones Will wither down and run out of time We'll try to mend it but we'll end up dying We both know this is the life that we chose verse 4 But comin' back from a hit like that's a chore When we were trapped inside of a jail cell we both adore My head's a mess, I swear it's like a loaded gun Set to explode at a flick of your soul I'm an awful mess and you said that you're done But we both know this is the life we chose We both know that the hourglass inside my bones Will wither down and run out of time We'll try to mend it but we'll end up dying We both know this is the life that we chose We both know this is the life that we chose Bridge There's a dark cloud over a love I have There's a rain upon my hair So wet on top of my head, my Lord Let the sun come out instead To the east I see the sunrise But the west sunset still falls There's a dark cloud over a love I have And it can only last so long There's a land of gold where my eyes are set There's a land of gold I see Where the streams of water flow into the land Where the grass is always green To the east I see the sunrise But the west sunset still falls There's a dark cloud over a love I have But it can only last so long But we both know this is the life we chose We both know that the hourglass inside my bones Will wither down and run out of time We'll try to mend it but we'll end up dying We both know this is the life that we chose We both know this is the life that we chose God, I hope this is the life that I chose
