lyrics

With plastic soldiers in the backyard
We fought to save our very lives
They combed our hair, washed out our mouths, got us to school
Then gave us rules that we despised

This goddamn life (with odds stacked up against us)
This goddamn life (and fighting on all sides)
This goddamn life (we’re so afraid of losing)
That beats us every time

I gazed with longing at her beauty
In back of 6th grade science class
I doodled Cupid and a thousand hearts and flowers
Erased the mix tape she gave back

This goddamn life (with odds stacked up against us)
This goddamn life (we’re fighting to survive)
This goddamn life (we’re so afraid of losing)
Yet it beats us all the time

In my mind we’re never growing old…
In my mind we’re doing backflips, striking matchsticks in revolt

Another Fall gives way to Winter
You’re standing in your favorite coat
A sleeve is ripped, it doesn’t fit you anymore
Another thing you loved outgrown

With everything against us
And fighting on all sides
That we’re all so in love with
I’m so in love with mine

I’m so in love with my
Goddamn life
So in love with my
Goddamn life
I’m so in love with my goddamn life, goddamn life
My goddamn life
