Lifer Lyrics - Wye Oak

You worry I have given up 

Have lost direction for the cause 

Have traded truth for confidence 

Went back on all my promises 

I am not old but I've become 

Afraid of things I never was 

And stumbling on without a pause 

Can only go so long 

Did you say that I was the lifer? 

Did you say that life could be better? 

It seems to those who know me best 

My luck is wild and in excess 

I don't know why some suffer so 

And others never fear to go

From MetroLyrics to You: Our Classic Christmas Playlist 

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

I won't reduce myself to air 

Undo myself for your affair 

I've shown you everything I am 

You choose or not to understand 

There is a logic to the rule 

The end is kind, the mean is cruel 

I have to love the life I make 

Make up for all the space I take 

Mistaken for an oversight 

The absence of my appetite 

The source of all my arrogance 

I left it up to chance 

I believed that I was the lifer 

I believed that life could be better 

I want to see you rise again 

To see life in your eyes again 

To feel your pulse is beating strong 

To prove all of us wrong

Will you say that you are the lifer? 

Do you think that life could be better? 

Will you say that I am the lifer? 

Do you think that life could be better?
