Life We Chose Lyrics by Jared & The Mill

Life We Chose

2015

[Verse 1]
Hourglass inside of my bones
Trapped inside a picture frame above your throat
You were someone else when I was too
Weren't we someone else, wasn't I?
Weren't you?
[Verse 2]
But giving up is harder said than done
Throwing stones, set love on fire
We thought we'd won
I thought I was the man that you thought I was too
But he went away
He ran away with that girl I thought was you
[Chorus]
But we both know this is the life we chose
We both know that the hourglass inside my bones
Will wither down and run out of time
We'll try to mend it but we'll end up dyin'
We both know this is the life that we chose
[Verse 3]
So teary-eyed and desperate we manifest
Into a creature brought on by fear of a destiny we dread
Our four walls come down but somehow the roof suspends
It changed to a cloud, and down comes the rain as we near the end
[Chorus]
But we both know this is the life that we chose
We both know that the hourglass inside my bones
Will wither down and run out of time
We'll try to mend it but we'll end up dyin'
We both know this is the life that we chose
[Verse 4]
But comin' back from a hit like that's a chore
When we were trapped inside of a jail cell we both adore
My head's a mess, I swear it's like a loaded gun
Set to explode at a flick of your soul
I'm an awful mess and you said that you'd run
[Chorus]
But we both know this is the life that we chose
We both know that the hourglass inside my bones
Will wither down and run out of time
We'll try to mend it but we'll end up dyin'
We both know this is the life that we chose
We both know this is the life that we chose
[Bridge]
There's a dark cloud over a love I have
There's a rain upon my hair
So wet on top of my head, my Lord
Let the sun come out instead
To the east I see a sunrise
But the west sunset still falls
There's a dark cloud over the love I have
And it can only last so long
There's a land of gold where my eyes are set
There's a land of gold I see
Where the streams of water pour into the land
Where the grass is always green
To the east I see a sunrise
But the west sunset still falls
There's a dark cloud over a love I have
But it can only last so long
[Chorus]
We both know this is the life that we chose
We both know that the hourglass inside my bones
Will wither down and run out of time
We'll try to mend it but we'll end up dyin'
We both know this is the life that we chose
We both know this is the life that we chose
God, I hope this is the life that I chose
