I Live With It Every Day Lyrics - Born On A Pirate Ship - Barenaked Ladies

On August first, nineteen-eight-one 

I cycled to Scott's house with a BB gun 

We were almost twelve, but we looked thirteen 

He had baby-blue eyes that I shot him between 

Nature provides for us a safety net 

Whatever we do, we can never forget 

Chorus: 

I live with it every day 

Even though we moved away 

Our yesterdays are on a loop; 

A marathon of heartbreaking moments 

I live with it every day 

For every step I have to pay 

The only thing that they can't take 

The guild that spirals in my wake

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

The day they found me asleep on the floor 

Engine running, closed garage door 

Was the day the For Sale sign arrived on the lawn 

Two weeks later, and we were gone 

Everyone falls through time and the funnel it makes 

But I'm staying here inside my biggest mistake 

Chorus 

Photos 

The love I put away 

Like games that children play 

The hearts you choose to break 

Like cars dumped in the lake 

The laugh lines on your face 

The life I won't embrace 

The cold house I won't leave 

The guests I won't receive 

Chorus
