She grew up and turned out
|
Nothing like she had ever expected
|
When she reflects
|
She thinks about her barbies and dresses
|
29 doing time on the edge of her bed
|
Laughing to herself
|
About the big tattoo on her forehead
|
She was innocent
|
But she was close to the edge
|
One more step and she
|
Probably woulda been dead
|
It's ironic how she got here
|
But she's glad to be alive
|
She says to herself
|
|
How does this happen
|
How does this happen
|
How does this happen
|
How do we know
|
|
Lying in his deathbed
|
He looks around in disbelief
|
He made it to 100
|
But this is strange don't ya think
|
The people around him
|
He's only known for 30 years
|
He takes one of his last breaths
|
And he says life was weird
|
Wheres the first wife
|
The childhood best friend
|
When he was 20
|
He used to imagine the end
|
The people the faces of the people he knew back then
|
Bot oh well life was so good
|
|
How does this happen
|
How does this happen
|
How does this happen
|
How do we know
|
How does this happen
|
How does this happen
|
How does this happen
|
How do we know
|
Yeah
|
|
Play music
|
Turn it up loud
|
After so many years
|
Hearing lost and found
|
To have been
|
He's learned to sign
|
But he wants to cry
|
Without the music in his head
|
He said he coulda survived
|
He writes albums a day
|
That will never be heard
|
Not even by him
|
Isn't that a shame
|
He knows it's life
|
And wonders past
|
He still has his pass
|
And now he doesn't have to listen
|
To anyone
|
Anyone
|
How do we know
|
|
How does this happen
|
How does this happen
|
How does this happen
|
How do we know
|
Know
|
|
I'll wait for you
|
In the dark
|
Where no one else can find us
|
I'll be watching
|
I'll be waiting here for you
|
