Makeshift Halo Lyrics by David Timm

2018

[Verse 1]
My life is blue and yellow
Upstairs with a Makeshift Halo

[Pre-Chorus]
Turn the music up louder
Drown me out so I do not hear my thoughts

Makeshift Halo

[Verse 2]
We're so old in my father's car
I'm so cold and going so far

[Pre-Chorus]
Turn the music up louder
Let the speakers fry
I don't give a fuck

[Chorus]
And we might be angels
In a Makeshift Halo
(Makeshift Halo)
We're barely people
Much less your savior
(Makeshift Halo)

[Bridge]
You got the weight of the world on this cardboard ring
While I'm still writing songs about bein' young and doin' nothing

You say to make a choice, but I feel like I'll sink
(Makeshift Halo)
What if I don't wanna choose?
I haven't lived yet
I can barely think

[Verse 3]
My life is blue and yellow
(You're so sad that it's not even that bad)
What the hell does that even mean?
(They're just words pretending that they're going to be heard)

[Pre-Chorus]
Turn the music up louder
Sway in time with me so we don't have to grow up

[Chorus]
And we might be angels
In a Makeshift Halo
(Makeshift Halo)
We're barely people
Much less your savior
(Makeshift Halo)

We are not your angels
No more Makeshift Halos
(Makeshift Halo)
More than anything we're strangers
To the world we're saving
(Makeshift Halo)

[Outro]
My life is blue and yellow
(They're just words pretending that they're going to be heard)
What color is yours?
(They're just words, just words, just words)

My life is blue and yellow
(They're just words pretending that they're going to be heard
They're just words, just words, just words)

You're so sad that it's not even that bad
They're just words pretending that they're going to be heard
You're so sad that it's not even that bad
They're just words pretending that they're going to be heard
