The Consequence Of Being Alive

There's a booth at the bar in the mall 'cross town

A jukebox hogged by the hometown crowd

In a table in the corner where I sit with my brothers

There's a game that we play where you toss a ring

And make bets if you catch the hook with the string

And I think about the future where the states are what divide each other

Where we go, there ain't no exit signs

Life is short, but it still takes some time

Yeah, you live and love and lose

And that's the consequence of being alive

From a one-car garage in a tourist town

Where the neighbors complain when we got too loud

I wouldn't trade it for the world, I wouldn't trade those days for any other

And there's a force that they call love, it's a pain, it's a deep cut

But it's all that you will ever need

It'll hold you while you cry in a hot tub, throwin' a tantrum

Screamin', "Boys, I hope you never leave"

Where we go, there ain't no exit signs

Life is short, but it still takes some time

Yeah, you live and love and lose

And that's the consequence of being alive

The past can be romanticized

But life is long and there's no second tries

Yeah, you live and love and lose

And that's the consequence of being alive

In the night, when our eyes close

When the years slow our tempo

I won't wish for better days

Burn the light, watch the time go

Same old moon from different timezones

These are those glory days, you are my glory day

Brother, drive to the grapevine

Brother, run to the state line

Brother, I won't forget our glory days

Brother, I won't forget our glory days

Where we go, there ain't no exit signs

Life is short, but it still takes some time

Yeah, you live and love and lose

And that's the consequence of being alive
