[verse 1]
You don't wanna act real nice to me
Well that's fine by me
Lungs burning up 'cause it gets to me
And that's fine by me
Going up north, that's everything i see
Where the light meets dark, that's where i wanna be
Thinking bout everything
Thinking bout everything
Thinking bout everything but me
[chorus]
Tell me what it means to live
The gallant writes everything he did
Bottom of the ocean where he sits
The tears join the water they don't drip
Tell me what it means to live
The gallant writes everything he did
What a life of failures, every single day hurt
I can only pray he lets me in
He lets me in
He lets me in
He lets me in
He lets me in
He lets me in
[bridge}
Something about you ain't what i expected, that's alright
Something about your hair in the breeze and the cigarette smoke don't wheeze it's alright (alright, alright)
Something about you ain't what i expected, that's alright
Something about your hair in the breeze and the cigarette smoke don't wheeze its alright
[chorus]
Tell me what it means to live
The gallant writes everything he did
Bottom of the ocean where he sits
The tears join the water they don't drip
Tell me what it means to live
The gallant writes everything he did
What a life of failures, every single day hurt
I can only pray he lets me in
He lets me in
He lets me in
