See These Bones Songtext
von Nada Surf

Everyone′s right and no one is sorry
That's the start and the end of the story
From the sharks and the jets to the call in the morning
Everyone′s right and no one is sorry
That's the start and the end of the story
From the sharks and the jets to the call in the morning
And life is just bets anyway

Look alive, you see these bones
What you are now, we were once
Try as they might no one's immune to
Misfiring and acting on the wrong clues
Always thinking there′s time to redo and redo

I hear rain in the movies and the talk before the screen lights
I hear strings in the park
I don′t like to call or write except when it's too late at night
I mostly just think in the dark


Look alive, you see these bones
What you are now, we were once
And just like we are, you′ll be dust
And just like we are, permanent

You were too tired to eat, too hungry to sleep
Just imagine the speed
It's just what you need

Look alive, you see these bones
What you are now, we were once
And just like we are, you′ll be dust
And just like we are, permanent

The lights in the city are more or less blinking
Which side of the story decides what you're thinking
Warm arms and cold faces, we′re squinting, we're hurrying
We take inventory, we're digging, we′re burying

Do you remember when the light was low?
Do you remember when it failed?
Do you remember when you went to her house?
Remember ringing the bell?

Look alive, you see these bones
What you are now, we were once
And just like we are, you′ll be dust
And just like we are, permanent


The lights in the city are more or less blinking
Which side of the story decides what you're thinking
Warm arms and cold faces, we′re squinting, we're hurrying
We take inventory, we′re digging, we're burying

Do you remember when the light was low?
Do you remember when it failed?
Do you remember when you went to her house?
Remember ringing the bell?

Look alive, you see these bones
What you are now, we were once
And just like we are, you′ll be dust
And just like we are, permanent

Look alive, you see these bones
What you are now, we were once
And just like we are, you'll be dust
And just like we are, permanent
