Spencer Krug – How We Have to Live Lyrics

 

How We Have to Live Lyrics by Spencer Krug

 

Wouldn’t it be great if we could live the way we lived when we just laid across the trail
“Money Changes Everything” is both a wicked tune and cautionary tale
For the record I was never down to cut the faces from the photos on the shelf
I wouldn’t change a thing but now it’s how we have to live versus living with ourselves
It’s how we have to live versus living with ourselves

The shower head was broken so they drove down to the pool for a steam and then a swim
They had come to love the customs of the Baltic Sea and being naked with their friends
But stepping down into the icy water they felt alone and then their bones went cold as hell
They wouldn’t change a thing but now it’s how they have to live versus living with themselves

It’s how we have to live versus how we have to live with ourselves…

Laying in the grass I sometimes wonder if I haven’t in some ways already died
Then I think of course I have and so has any person who just burns to stay alive
Let your body fold into the shape that feels most bearable and listen for the bell
I wouldn’t change a thing but now it’s how we have to live versus living with ourselves

It’s how we have to live versus how we have to live with ourselves…
