There´s an echo pulling out the meaning Rescuing a nightmare from a dream The voices in my head are always screaming That none of this means anything to me
And it´s a long way back from seventeen The whispers turn into a scream And I´m not coming home
Save your breath, I´m nearly Bored to death and fading fast Life is too short to last long Back on earth I´m broken Lost and cold and fading fast Life is too short to last long
There´s a stranger staring at the ceiling Rescuing a tiger from a tree The pictures in her head are always dreaming Each of them means everything to me
And it´s a long way back from seventeen The whispers turn into a scream
And I´m not coming home
Save your breath, I´m nearly Bored to death and fading fast Life is too short to last long Back on earth I´m broken Lost and cold and fading fast Life is too short to last long
I think I met her at the minute that the rhythm was set down I said I´m sorry I´m a bit of a let down But all my friends are daring me to come over So I come over and over and over
So let me buy you a drink And we´ll pretend that you think That I´m the man of your dreams
Come to life in a dive bar And we´ll go over and over and over And we´ll go over and over and over And we´ll go over and over and over And we´ll go over and over and over
Save your breath, I´m nearly Bored to death and fading fast Life is too short to last long Back on earth I´m broken Lost and cold and fading fast Life is too short to last long
