[Verse 1]
Alarm in the dark
Same stain on the ceiling
Coffee gone cold
While the day starts speeding
Emails
Red dots
Little cuts I’m bleeding
Smile on my face
Like that’s what I’m needing

[Chorus]
This life
This life
Kicks you in the teeth
Then it calls you "friend"
This life
This life
Says "it’s all fine" as it bends and bends
We get up
Get up
Swear we’re gonna change
Then we just pretend
This life
This life
This life again

[Verse 2]
Bus seat
Bad news
Scroll till I’m dizzy
Everyone’s winning
I’m stuck staying busy
Bills on the fridge
All lined up in a row
Tell myself "later"
Watch the late show glow

[Chorus]
This life
This life
Kicks you in the teeth
Then it calls you "friend"
This life
This life
Says "it’s all fine" as it bends and bends
We get up
Get up
Swear we’re gonna change
Then we just pretend
This life
This life
This life again

[Bridge]
Maybe this is it
Maybe that’s enough
Breathing in the dust
Still calling it love
Laughing at the cracks
Running through the plan
Holding all the weight
With these two hands

[Chorus]
This life
This life
Kicks you in the teeth
Then it calls you "friend"
This life
This life
Says "it’s all fine" as it bends and bends
We get up
Get up
Swear we’re gonna change
Then we just pretend
This life
This life
This life again
