Grow Up and Blow Away - Metric

Flooding the room two by two

From the womb to the holiday

There is no holiday

First, double-cross her heart

He wants to start a family

Needing something to go on

If she weren’t writing in blood

She’d bring him her jokes, a new liver

And a shovel for the mud

If he were not knee-deep in mud

He’d bring her his drugs

He’d get her a typewriter

If this is the life

Why does it feel so good to die today?

Blue to grey, grow up and blow away

If this is the life

Why does it feel so good to die today?

Blue to grey, grow up and blow away

Nobody knows which street to take

He took the easy way,

What was the easy way?

First, double-cross her heart

He wants to start a family

She always thought she would not

If she weren’t writing in blood

She’d bring him her jokes,

A new liver and a shovel for the mud

If he were not knee-deep in mud

He’d bring her his jokes

He’d get her a typewriter

If this is the life

Why does it feel so good to die today?

Blue to grey, grow up and blow away

If this is the life

Why does it feel so good to die today?

Blue to grey, grow up and blow away

First, double-cross her heart

He wants to start a family

Her body is the baby

If this is the life

Why does it feel so good to die today?

Blue to grey, grow up and blow away

If this is the life

Why does it feel so good to die today?

Blue to grey, grow up and blow away

Blue to grey, grow up and blow away

Blue to grey, grow up and blow away

Blue to grey, grow up and blow away

Blue to grey, grow up and blow away
