See These Bones

[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?
