How To Live Lyrics - Band Of Horses

When I'm giving advice to others 

I take more than I can give 

It's a birds eye view 

What I want you to do or how to live 

And I really don't have to suffer 

I still do it anyway 

I'm a diamond in the rough 

Or I'm a dirt clod in the clay 

Guess what I lost my job 

It's just my luck 

Reveal you've always been the actor 

With those puppy dog eyes 

Well one of y'all is telling the truth 

The other one is lies 

It's someone else's fault so often 

You getting rude, getting tall 

It's a great big world 

Darling your translations is just a little off 

So what, you made a mistake 

You try to hide the time 

The time is life 

Gets a little bit larger everyday 

It grows 

Gets out of control 

I've been giving my advice to others 

I try to tell them how to live 

A little lying, a bit of truth 

What I'd like for you to do and how to give 

And I really didn't need to suffer 

Still did it anyway 

What a great big world 

I better find some way to stay 

Guess what you're getting old 

Still gotta grow up
