Let me rewind to the times where we never felt ill
We fill our minds with those dreams and we never miss a beat
Just pass the time staying up, feeling restless at night
Come wake me up before I die and I never get to live
I want a house on the hill by the ocean
I’d let the tide wash away all my critical mistakes
I want a house on the hill by the ocean
I’d let the tide wash away all my critical mistakes
Let’s spend the days, empty space, watch the waves in our mind
We count the stars, write our names in the sand beneath our feet
It feels so right blowing smoke clouds polluting the sky
You take a drag before the moment escapes you, feel the light
I want a house on the hill by the ocean
I’d let the tide wash away all my critical mistakes
I want a house on the hill by the ocean
I’d let the tide wash away all my critical mistakes
Let me rewind
We fill our minds
We fill our minds with smoke
I want a house on the hill by the ocean
I’d let the tide wash away all my critical mistakes
I want a house on the hill by the ocean
I’d let the tide wash away all my critical mistakes
One more drink ‘fore he split town,
Pulled up in a rose pink cadillac
He was singin’ with the top down girl from the north,
Dylan and Johnny Cash
He won the car on a card game listenin’ to The Boss,
He keeps his clothes in a gunney sack
She said, “Tell you what sailor, if you take me outta here,
I’ll do anything that you ask,
‘Cause I don’t wanna die like the people down here
But I feel that I’m fading fast.”
He looked over to her chestnut hair,
He said “I don’t believe in love.”
But he knew good and well she was the only girl there,
So he figured it was close enough
And they hopped in the car, rolled the windows down far,
And they headed through the desert plains
And she didn’t even mind when they crossed the state line
And the sky opened up with rain
And they went three states ‘fore they even spoke a word,
He leaned over just to ask her name
She said, “Take me to the 61 highway, sailor,
And you can call me Queen Jane,
‘Cause the only thing I stole from the town
Was a crown that I took from a beauty queen.”
And he looked over to her deep green eyes,
Knew that she was just as cold as him
So he went to the trunk, grabbed the pistol from inside,
And told Janey of his plan
And they went to the store she put the gas in the car,
He came out running with a case of beer
And he jumped in the back with the money in the sack
And Janey she took the wheel
And they ran off in a blaze in a sweet summer haze,
To the bullets of the cashier
“You keep your head down sailor
’cause I might need ya’ later, just holler if you can hear,
‘Cause I’m gonna need a man,
Not a farmer girl tan and a cadillac souvenir.”
And they camped out by the railroad bridge,
And they made love all night,
Watched the sun come up over Mercury Ridge,
From a hilltop outta sight.
They hit five more banks and their small-town safes
And they knew that they could get out fast
Had the time of their life but they had to have a talk,
’cause they knew that it couldn’t last
They made friends with the man at the Mexico border,
And they left him with a bag of cash
She said, “I tell you what, sailor,
I don’t care about that paper
But I’m happy that we passed,
‘Cause I’m feeling pretty tired
And I’m carrying a child and we both need a rest.”
And they settled down to a house near the water,
Where they would live to be old and gray
And many years later and the kids are all older,
And they tell ’em ’bout the good ole’ days.
Your love is better than ice cream
better than anything else that I’ve tried
and your love is better than ice cream
Everyone here knows how to fight
and it’s a long way down
it’s a long way down
it’s a long way down to the place
where we started from
Your love is better than chocolate
better than anything else that I’ve tried
oh love is better than chocolate
everyone here knows how to cry
it’s a long way down
it’s a long way down
it’s a long way down to the place
where we started from…
Your love is better than ice cream
better than anything else that I’ve tried
and your love is better than ice cream
Everyone here knows how to fight
and it’s a long way down
it’s a long way down
it’s a long way down to the place
where we started from
Your love is better than chocolate
better than anything else that I’ve tried
oh love is better than chocolate
everyone here knows how to cry
it’s a long way down
it’s a long way down
it’s a long way down to the place
where we started from…
Bite chunks out of me
You’re a shark and I’m swimming
My heart still thumps as I bleed
And all your friends come sniffing
Triangles are my favorite shape
Three points where two lines meet
Toe to toe, back to back, let’s go, my love; it’s very late
‘Til morning comes, let’s tessellate
Go alone my flower
And keep my whole lovely you
Wild green stones alone my lover
And keep us on my heart
Three guns and one goes off
One’s empty, one’s not quick enough
One burn, one red, one grin
Search the graves while the camera spins
Chunks of you will sink down to seals
Blubber rich in mourning, they’ll nosh you up
Yes, they’ll nosh the love away but it’s fair to say
You will still haunt me
Triangles are my favorite shape
Three points where two lines meet
Toe to toe, back to back, let’s go my love; it’s very late
‘Til morning comes, let’s tessellate
[Chorus – X Ambassadors:]
I’m nothing but a low life
Thinking ’bout my own life
I can’t help myself from falling
Can’t help myself from falling
I’m nothing but a low life
Thinking ’bout my own life
I’m trying to fight the good old fight
But after it all, I’m still just a low life
[Verse 1 – Jamie N Commons:]
Wanna be a better man, but it’s a hard life
Without that love inside you, it’s a cold bind
I started to reflect on all that’s been before
Started to wonder, but, but you can’t be sure
[Pre-Chorus – Jamie N Commons:]
Now please tell me I’m broke
It’s much easier that way cause I just let you down
It’s much easier that way
[Chorus – X Ambassadors:]
I’m nothing but a low life
Thinking ’bout my own life
I can’t help myself from falling
Can’t help myself from falling
I’m nothing but a low life
Thinking ’bout my own life
I’m trying to fight the good old fight
But after it all, I’m still just a low life
[Verse 2 – Jamie N Commons:]
There are words in my mind in the candlelight
Cold hands on my heart keeping slow time
And I started to reflect on all that’s been before
Started to wonder, but you, you can’t be sure
[Pre-Chorus – Jamie N Commons:]
Now please tell me I’m broke
It’s much easier that way cause I just let you down
It’s much easier that way
[Chorus – X Ambassadors:]
I’m nothing but a low life
Thinking ’bout my own life
I can’t help myself from falling
Can’t help myself from falling
I’m nothing but a low life
Thinking ’bout my own life
I’m trying to fight the good old fight
But after it all, I’m still just a low life
[Chorus – X Ambassadors & Jamie N Commons:]
I’m still just a low life
Nothing but a low life
I can’t help myself from falling
I can’t help myself from falling
Still just a low life
I’m nothing but a low life
I’m trying to fight the good old fight
But after it all, I’m still just a low life
[Chorus – X Ambassadors (Jamie N Commons):]
I’m nothing but a low life (nothing but a low life)
Thinking ’bout my own life (thinking ’bout my own life)
I can’t help myself from falling (can’t help myself)
Can’t help myself from falling (can’t help myself)
I’m nothing but a low life (nothing but a low life)
Oh, I’m thinking ’bout my own life (thinking ’bout my own life)
I’m trying to fight the good old fight
But after it all, I’m still just a low life
‘Neath an avalanche – soft as moss I’m a creeping and intangible sense of loss I’m the memory you can’t get out your head If I leave you now You’ll wish you were somewhere else instead
I’m the manta ray – I’m the louse I am a photograph they found in your burned out house I’m the sound of money washing down the drain I am the pack of lies baby that keeps you sane
Gates of Heaven are open wide God help me baby I’m trapped inside Feel like I’m buried alive
I’m the bottom line – of the joke I am ecstasy – spilling like bright egg yolk I’m the thoughts you’re too ashamed to ever share And I am the smell of it – you’re trying to wash out of you hair
Gates of Heaven are open wide God help me baby I’m lost inside Feel like I’m buried alive
Possibilities limitless Just give me something that’s more than this One shot and I’ll never miss yes
I’m the babe that sleeps through the blitz I am a sudden and quite unexpected twist I am your one true love who sleeps with someone else I am your nemesis Baby I’m life sweet life itself yeah
Woke up today and decided to kill my ego
It aint ever done me no good no how
Gonna break through and blast off to the Bardo
In them flowers of light far away from the here and now
Taking a 49 divine day vacation
From reality and all else in between
Gonna transmigrate to my destination
Far beyond time in an eternal dream
But am I dreaming or am I dying
Either way I don’t mind at all
It feels so good you just can’t help but crying
You have to let go so the soul can fall
Oh my God it’s so beautiful
Everything is a part of me
It’s so hard looking through all the lies made of wool
But if you close your eyes it becomes so easy to see
