Rest Of My Life Lyrics - Dotted Line - Nickel Creek

The battle is over 

Here we all lie 

In a dry sea of Solo cups 

With the sun in our eyes 

But it's one of those endings 

Where no one claps 'cause they're sure that there's more 

What a great way to start the first day of the rest of my life 

I guess the show's going on 

So we pick up the pieces 

We dropped for a song 

And an ear-splitting headache 

That makes it hard to figure out which puzzle they're for 

But I can leave this part out of the story I write 

There are worse ways to start the first day of the rest of my life 

Roommates, friends, lovers - quiet 

I'm coming to 

I'm turning myself into something a little less promising 

A little more useful 

The battle is over 

We lost, but we'll live to call off the war 

Don't that ceiling look high from the floor? 

Don't it hurt just to move 

As we shrink from the light? 

As it pierces our bodies and thaws out our hearts 

What a great way to start the first day of the rest of 

The rest, the rest of my life
