Alkaline Trio - Continental lyrics

I've got a dying urge to feel the way you do
Too close for comfort
Bed and breakfast in a spoon
The shortest breath of your young life
A long walk home on Friday night
You made one last stop at the store

So close to perfect, swear to hell
Thought it was you
This bouncing baby boy's now
Turning baby blue
I've got your pictures on my walls
I've got a long list of calls I must make
To your existing family

You had nine lives and one by one
You chewed 'em up
Your final coffin nail's been
Driven far too much
"This won't take long, " you said
"I'm not going far go wait in the car"

I often wonder what it feels like to be you
A mess like this stuck on
Your hands with crazy glue
Ran out of time, no kiss goodbye
Wish I could learn to let
This sleeping dog die
Without lying to myself

You had nine lives and one by one
You chewed 'em up
Your final coffin nail's been
Driven far too much
"This won't take long, " you said
"I'm not going far go wait in the car"

You had nine lives and one by one
You chewed 'em up
Your final coffin nail's been
Driven far too much
"This won't take long, " you said
"I'm not going far go wait in the car"
