Letra da Música Late Lives de Pianos Become The Teeth

How odd life would be if you had made it
From elmira to kansas city
Instead you cried the whole way
Punching the wheel home
And I forget his name
But like billy said, "you can't be everything
You want to be, before your time, "
So slow it down
Because everyone will wait for you
There's no fire
Just the heat where the sweat never leaves
You never fully dry out
So stand still, the air will move

It'll wash over you and almost cool you off
And like you said, "what the hell is the rush? "
Well you, you're one to talk
Gone a little too soon
But I know you hated being late
And I guess you arrived right on time
And I'm still here
Still on this side of the grass
But lately I'm feeling halfway there

And that's a long time for late lives and separate failures
With not much to show but a lack of posture
I know I drove myself to this
I think you already know
I think you already heard

At least I hope
How odd life would be if you had made it
From elmira to kansas city
And in the end
It's like you said
"That's as good as it gets, man. "
