Vampire Weekend - This Life lyrics

[Vampire Weekend - This Life lyrics]

Baby, I know pain is as natural as the rain
I just thought it didn't rain in California
Baby, I know love isn't what I thought it was
'Cause, I've never known a love
Like this before ya baby, I know dreams tend
To crumble at extremes
I just thought our dream would
Last a little bit longer
There's a time when every man draws
A line down in the sand
We're surviving, we're still living
Are we stronger?

You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you
You've been cheating on me
But, I've been cheating through this life
And all it's suffering oh Christ
Am I good for nothing?

Baby, I know hate is always
Waiting at the gate
I just thought we locked the gate
When we left in the morning
And I was told that war is
How we landed on these shores
I just thought the drums of
War beat louder warnings

You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you
You've been cheating on me
But, I've been cheating through this life
(You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you)
And all it's suffering
(You've been cheating on me
I've been cheating through) oh Christ
(You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you)
Am I good for nothing?
(You've been cheating on me
I've been cheating through)

Baby, I know death probably
Hasn't happened yet
'Cause, I don't remember living
Life before this and darling
Our disease is the same one as the trees
Unaware that they've been living in a forest

You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you
You've been cheating on me
But, I've been cheating through this life
(You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you)
And all it's suffering
(You've been cheating on me
I've been cheating through) oh Christ
(You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you)
Am I good for nothing?
(You've been cheating on me
I've been cheating through) this life
(You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you)
And all it's suffering
(You've been cheating on me
I've been cheating through) oh Christ
(You've been cheating on, cheating on me
I've been cheating on, cheating on you)
Am I good for nothing?
