[Intro]
Everyone's right and no one is sorry
That's the start and the end of the story
From the Sharks and the Jets to the call in the morning
[Verse 1]
Everyone's right and no one is sorry
That's the start and the end of the story
From the Sharks and the Jets to the call in the morning
And life is just bets anyway
[Chorus]
Look alive, see these bones
What you are now, we were once
[Verse 2]
Try as they might, no one's immune to
Misfiring and acting on the wrong clues
And thinking this time to re-do and re-do
I feel rain in the movies and the talk before the screen lights
I hear strings in the park
I don't like to call or write, except when it's too late at night
I mostly just think in the dark
[Chorus]
Look alive, see these bones
What you are now, we were once
But just like we are, you'll be dust
And just like we are, permanent
[Bridge]
You were too tired to eat, too hungry to sleep
Just imagine the speed
It's just what you need
[Chorus]
Look alive and see these bones
What you are now, we were once
And just like we are, you'll be dust
And just like we are, permanent
[Bridge 2]
The lights in the city are more or less blinking
Which side of the story decides what you are thinking
Warm arms and cold faces
We're squinting, we're hurrying
We take inventory
We're digging, we're burying
Do you remember when the light was low?
Do you remember when it fell?
Do you remember when we went through her house?
Remember ringing the bell?
[Chorus]
Look alive, see these bones
What you are now, we were once
Just like we are, you'll be dust
And just like we are, permanent
[Outro]
The lights in the city are more or less blinking
(Look alive)
Which side of the story decides what you are thinking
(See these bones)
Warm arms and cold faces
(What you are now)
We're squinting, we're hurrying
(We were once)
We take inventory
We're digging, we're burying
(Just like we are)
Do you remember when the light was low?
(You'll be dust)
Do you remember when it fell?
(Just like we are)
Do you remember when we went through her house?
(Permanent)
Remember ringing the bell?
[Cascading voices from the Chorus and second bridge]
