Your Life Lyrics - Modest Mouse

Everyone's afraid of their own life 

If you could be anything you want to be 

You'd be disappointed, am I right? 

No one really knows the ones they love 

If you knew everything they thought 

I bet that you'd wish that they'd just shut up 

Well, you were the dull sound of sharp math 

When you were alive 

Not ones gonna play the harp when you die 

And if I had a nickel for every damn dime 

I'd have half the time, do you mind? 

Everyone's afraid of their own lives 

If you could be anything you want I bet 

You'd be disappointed, am I right, am I right? 

And it's our lives 

It's hard to remember 

It's hard to remember 

We're alive for the first time 

It's hard to remember 

It's hard to remember 

We're alive for the last time 

It's hard to remember 

It's hard to remember 

To live before you die 

It's hard to remember 

It's hard to remember 

That our lives are such a short time 

It's hard to remember 

It's hard to remember 

When it takes such a long time 

It's hard to remember 

It's hard to remember 

My mom's God is a woman 

And my mom she is a witch 

I like this 

My hell comes from inside 

Comes from inside myself 

Why fight this 

Everyone's afraid of their own life 

If you could be anything you want I bet 

You'd be disappointed, am I right?
