Alkaline Trio
Old School Reasons
[Verse 1: Matt Skiba]
I got these thoughts in my head
Dirty as fuck and never leaving
And they're best left unsaid
All the drinks under breath
Got some shit off my chest
Threw it my back next to the monkey nest
That somebody left
With me the day I was born
[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]
I got a hole in my head
The size of Lake fucking Michigan
My pipe's lined in lead
Got old school reasons to die
All my money's been spent
On a face lift via alcohol
As this sinner repents
To an empty bathroom reflection
[Chorus: Dan Andriano]
Please take these words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, it drove me mad
It's just your time, it's just my fucking life
[Verse 3: Matt Skiba]
I got a bottle in hand
Straight to the ground with all my memories
It's best left unsaid
When they've all been left behind
All my money's been spent
On a DIY lobotomy
This sinner repents
To a lake and bathroom mirror
[Chorus: Dan Andriano]
Please take these words
And then do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, it drove me mad
It's just your time, it's just my fucking life
So take these words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream you had, drove me mad
It's just your time, it's just my fucking life
[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba with Dan Andriano]
And that's my life
Over and over again
It's just my fucking life
[Bridge: Matt Skiba]
It might seem meaningless to you
But it means everything to me
And I'm fucked without you
[Chorus: Dan Andriano]
Please take these words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, it drove me mad
It's just your time, it's just my fucking life
[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba with Dan Andriano]
And that's my life
Over and over again
It's just my fucking life
