Life on a Chain by Pete Yorn

I live on a chain
and you share the same last name
As a joke
I sent a bottle of whiskey
As you choked
you said it made you feel dirty

And I was waiting over here
for life to begin
I was looking for the new thing
and you were the sunshine
heading my front-line
I was alone
You were just around the corner from me

Time alone is good
I spend my days in the city
Dirty neighborhood
You know you'll never convince me
So I sold the town away
I couldn't wait to forget you
I was killed in half a day
I hadn't time to regret you

And I was waiting over here
for life to begin
I was looking for the new thing
and you were the sunshine
heading my front-line
I was alone
You were just around the corner from me

I
I'm still on the chain
and you had the same last name
As a joke
I sent a bottle of whiskey
As you choked
you said it made you feel dirty

Waiting over here
for life to being
Still looking for the new thing
and you were the sunshine
heading my front-line
I was alone
You were just around the corner from me
