pity season

One, two, three

Now you're talking
Making better sense
Finally you're giving reason
To the pain in my chest

It's pity season
What a funny way to live
And the nerve to mention
Over dinner, you've got a year to live

So I'm picking up a motto
You get what you get and this is it
So chew and swallow
But if that is the price you're paying, I know
Everything means nothing at all
Woah-woah, uh-uh
At all

You're a shining example
Of every way I fall short
But a dying hero's good for me
Like Toblerone for a horse

Am I lucid dreaming?
Can I throw the ball in your court?
It ain't growing up without you here
To help and keep me on course

So I'm picking up a motto
You get what you get and this is it
so chew and swallow
But if that is the price you're paying, I know
Everything means nothing at all
Oh-oh-oh-oh
At all
Oh-oh-oh, mmm-mmm
At all
Oh-oh-oh-oh
At all
Oh-oh-oh-oh-mmm
