How We Aim To Live Songtext
von Tocotronic

He said, "Here I′m just a tourist
I'm only just passing through
The existence that I led here
Was as a member of someone else′s review"

He said, "If that's how you really see it
Is it such an awful thought?
I'm an intruder in my own body
And here I′ll be forever caught"

He has no substance
He′s just a hollow vault
He has no voice to speak of
And to announce it would surely be fraud
He's only a house
But a wall that separates us
He produces total silence
That which is known as love


This isn′t some kind of story
It's only a protocol
But it′s something we could learn from
How we aim to live

We're learning as we′re going
How we aim to live
A lesson we could learn from
How we aim to live

We're learning as we're going
How we aim to live
It′s something we could learn from
How we aim to live

This isn′t some kind of story
It's only a protocol
But it′s something we could learn from
How we aim to live

How we aim to live
