Ex-Life Lyrics by Ripe

Joy in the Wild Unknown

2018

[Verse 1]
Trinity Bellwood Park, after dark
Find me in the crater
We can go make fire
No one's there most nights
Afterwards, we can drift
Slightly west
Ossington forever
There's a bar there, knows me by name
At least I think
When you're a suburb kid
Edgin' on the six
The city sings to you, no, no
Painted Lady, call the tune
Now you're a former home
I have grown
Chose to go
And I'm not sure what to do
With the memory of you
With the memory of you

[Chorus]
Ex-life (Ex-life)
I know it's rude to ask, but
Please keep me on your mind
As I throw you in my taillights
Ex-life (Ex-life)
I know I don't deserve to
Make a home in your dreams
When I'm tryin' to hit the pavement

[Verse 2]
Call up a high school friend
Almost-friend
How you been?
We've been grown separately for years
That's been good to me
Wonder if we've all changed
Kind of strange
I am usually the last one
To recognize growth
Now it's all I see
There's been a couple people buried and a couple people born
What can you do? (Oh no)
Tomorrow's chasin' either way
Even if you can't stay
For a drink
Couple drinks
And some nostalgia, that's okay
So nice to see you still
So nice to see you

[Chorus]
Ex-life (Ex-life)
I know it's rude to ask, but
Please keep me on your mind
As I throw you in my taillights
Ex-life (Ex-life)
I know I don't deserve to
Make a home in your dreams
When I'm tryin' to hit the pavement

[Bridge]
You know, you make it hard to go
You'll always be halfway home
And when I do come back, you'll know
And when I do come back, you'll know

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
I remember where I came from
In Toronto, it started
With my brothers, it grew some, oh
I remember where I came from
In Toronto, it started
With my brothers, it grew some, oh
I remember where I came from
In Toronto, it started
And in Boston, it grew some, oh
I remember where I came from
In Toronto, it started
With my brothers, it grew some

[Chorus]
Ex-life (Ex-life)
I know it's rude to ask, but
Please keep me on your mind
Now I've got you in my headlights
Ex-life (Ex-life)
I know I don't deserve to
Make a home in your dreams
Now I'm tryin' to take you with me
Ex-life (Ex-life)
You know I know it's rude to ask
But please keep me on your mind
As I try to throw you back to
Ex-life (Ex-life)
I know I don't deserve to
Make a home in your dreams
Now I'm tryin' to take you with me

[Outro]
All that we are
Collapsin' stars
Each of us particles
Dust under the sun
All that we are
Collapsin' stars
Each of us particles
Dust under the sun
All that we are
Collapsin' stars
Each of us particles
Dust under the sun
