Old School Reasons lyrics
by Alkaline Trio
[Verse 1: Matt Skiba]
I got these thoughts in my head
Dirty as f*ck and never leaving
And they're best left unsaid
All the drinks under breath
Got some sh*t off my chest
Threw it on my back next to the monkey nest
That somebody left
With me the day I was born
[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]
I got a hole in my head
The size of Lake f*cking Michigan
My pipe's lined in lead
Got old school reasons to die
All my money's been spent
On a face lift via alcohol
As this sinner repents
To an empty bathroom reflection
[Chorus: Dan Andriano]
Please take these words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, it drove me mad
It's just your time, it's just my f*cking life
[Verse 3: Matt Skiba]
I got a bottle in hand
Straight to the ground with all my memories
It's best left unsaid
When they've all been left behind
All my money's been spent
On a DIY lobotomy
This sinner repents
To a lake and bathroom mirror
[Chorus: Dan Andriano]
Please take these words
And then do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, it drove me mad
It's just your time, it's just my f*cking life
So take these words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream you had, drove me mad
It's just your time, it's just my f*cking life
[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba with Dan Andriano]
And that's my life
Over and over again
It's just my f*cking life
[Bridge: Matt Skiba]
It might seem meaningless to you
But it means everything to me
And I'm f*cked without you
[Chorus: Dan Andriano]
Please take these words
And do with them what you would like
It's a dream I had, it drove me mad
It's just your time, it's just my f*cking life
[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba with Dan Andriano]
And that's my life
Over and over again
It's just my f*cking life
