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
