Insurance Lyrics by Terra Alive

Moon Over La Gabriella

2014

[Verse 1]
Well, for the last couple of months, I've been playing shows in bars
Oh. how silly to expect them to recognize a talent like mine, like mine
Oh well fuck it, they don't
But the bar scene is nowhere as exciting as anticipating Friday nights every week our senior year in high school
When we drank 'cause we were happy
Now we drink 'cause we're bored
With our lives and our jobs
Now we drink 'cause we're borеd
With our lives and our jobs
[Interlude 1]
[Chorus]
And I wanna break my back just to see you smile
Brеak my fucking back just to see you smile
Break my back just to see you smile
Break my fucking back just to see you smile
[Verse 2]
The blacker the lungs, the rotten the liver
Proceed to explain how last night you delivered
Your mind to a realm of uncensored proportions
A meaningless binge with romantic distortions
And "How did you make yourself happy when you were a kid?"
Don't come near me and my lover with your absent-mindedness
On the nights we had a fire we were very lost indeed
[Verse 3]
And I stubbled all around the counter
Salvaging a fallen soldier I'd encounter
And although sleep was in my best interest
I couldn't slumber 'till I figured out...
As a child what was I dependent on to put a smile on my face?
And as a child what exactly did I do when I knew I had time to waste?
[Interlude 2]
[Chorus]
And I wanna break my back just to see you smile
Break my fucking back just to see you smile
Break my back just to see you smile
Break my back just to see you smile
[Verse 4]
I want my friends to be upset with me when I decide I wanna stay in for the night
I want my dad to be upset with me when he finds out who's bed I'm sleeping in tonight
I want a small sense of hostility between the one's I call my friends, and even more than that
I wanna work to survive and every bill I have to pay will be the only thing that's on my mind
I wanna hate my life because I hate my job, and take all the stress on my wife
Or I want my lust for musical success to be the reason why I'm cut out from your life
I wanna call my mom so she can reassure me that I'm doing nothing wrong
I wanna live my life in fear, hoping that I'm never disappointing anyone
