we very, very, very
very much exist right now
don't know why, no-one know why
barely, barely, barely know how

it's scary, scary, scary
just thinking about this
what all we all gotta do right now
to earn the fact we exist

run, run you can't escape the past
worry, worry but you can't predict the future
time runs the tightest slaughterhouse
your neck is bare no matter how cute you are

so play truant for a day and find an ocean shore
sit with a friend like you're on the cusp of something
every moment's your arrival
your mind's the blood this callous Universe is pumping

every breath in is your ocean shore

[ Chorus: repeated ]

take, take you can't take it with you
don't build your house on rocks that can crumble
(all the rocks will crumble)
there will always be a lot left to do
that's where you need 
a younger pair of feet
for when you stumble

so just show up for every huddle
and every photo spiked with sorrow
that's why they call them rolling hills
like you and me they won't be here tomorrow

every breath out is a ripple already gone

[ Chorus: repeated ]

you can have the name of a saint
and body of a porn star
you can have a lot of cabinet space

you can score your dream role
entertain us all even get an Oscar
there's still only one way to bow out
so let's not count the ways...

let's just count the times we've been touched
by someone or something we love

[ Chorus: repeated ]
