To Live a Life Songtext
von First Aid Kit

I wrote you a letter to make myself feel better
To redeem some part of me I thought I had lost
And we were a lost ′cause
Long before we fell apart, 'cause honey, I was too eager
And you were too smart


And I look for you in this empty room
You′re a phone call away, I'm in the inner state
And I've been drinking cheap wine just to pass the time
I′m falling behind, and it doesn′t matter who you are to me

I'm just like my mother, we both love to run
Chasing possible things or unreachable dreams
Lie awake in the night, thinking this can′t be right
But there is no other way to live a life alone
I'm alone now

Then suddenly, we wake from this dream that we have made
It′s this you're, let once in there, it slowly fades
I′m raising in to nothing a-along miles away
I know it now for my own sake that I cannot stay
