Not Just a Pretty Phase (lyrics)

Not Just a Pretty Phase

 

Verse 1

Life seems too long when you're trapped in a song

And the melody seems out of of key 

And the choir that sings it tries hard not to jinx it

Or accidentally mix up the melody

They say you've got your whole life ahead of you

And you've figured it's not much of a life

And you lose that itch when you reach that bridge 

Then you know it's shorter than you've realized

 

Pre chorus 

Catch a bus

And drive somewhere

Just hoping that you'll arrive somewhere

 

Chorus 1

Meet me on the corner

If you want to come along

A valid escape from life

Something to touch you deep inside

When life just seems too long 

 

Verse 2

Life feels too short when they take you to court 

And your counsel won't get you a deal

And you basically gave up when all that you saved up

Had to go to some hail mary appeal

And you're envisioning your deathrow meal

Or how you'll talk to the prison wall

And if your lawyer can't give you a plea deal to live

Maybe it's not worth it at all

 

Pre chorus

Let your hair down

Feel the wind

Let the night breeze pull you in

 

Chorus 2

 

Meet me on the corner

 

We're heading to the port

 

A valid escape from life

 

Something to touch you deep inside

 

When life just seems too short

 

Pre chorus 

Take some

Time to think

Life is over in a wink
