Mortals

You laugh beside me, you needed this coffee
Your legs are too long for my passenger seat
And your brother's a dropout, you've thought about
Givin' up on science in pursuit of higher thinking

And my heart gets ahead of me always, always
You're talkin' in verses to me always, always
And you'll never live up to myths that I made of you

My bones and veins had to learn to be brave
You would lie with Goliath to have it both ways
And all of my friends thought that you'd stick around
You sounded so great

But you're just a boy with a biblical name
And my heart gets ahead of me always, always
I'd give you the benefit always, always
And you'll never live up to myths that I made of you

Nothing's forever
I've gotta live with that, too
