The Shins - It's Only Life

Dyed in the wool, you've been, cornered by a natural desire You want to hop along with the giddy throng through life But how will you learn to steer when you're grinding all your gears? You've been talking for hours You say "time will wash every tower to the sea" And now you've 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, they're lining up to haunt you They've got your back against the wall I call 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 It takes a while but we can figure this thing out And turn it back around You used 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 open door? The future's calling and Imma answer The wheel's in motion, I never drank your potion And I know it breaks your heart Open up your parachute, something's gotta stop the freefall I've been down the very road you're walking now It doesn't have to be so dark and lonesome It takes a while but we can figure this thing out And turn it back around
