There's an echo

pulling out the meaning

Rescuing a nightmare

for a dream

The voices in my head

are always screaming

But 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

I'm not coming home

save your breath

I'm nearly

bored to death

I'm fading fast

Life is too short

to last long

back on Earth

I'm broken

Lost and cold

I'm 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

I'm not coming home

save your breath

I'm nearly

bored to death

I'm fading fast

Life is too short

to last long

back on Earth

I'm broken

Lost and cold

I'm 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

I'm fading fast

Life is too short

to last long

back on Earth

I'm broken

Lost and cold

I'm fading fast

life is too short

to last long

Life is too short

to last long
