LyricMeaning

It's Only Your Life
Kevin Devine

You wrestle yourself to the ground

You springboard and kick yourself in the mouth

Cause all of that drama, that embarrassed charade

Couldn't stop you or settle you down


So you got back with your black hole

And you don't care who's out there or who knows

Cause you're spent and you're sad

Cause you've bronzed it, it's your badge

And you've fixed it to all your clothes


Every t-shirt and overcoat

So it's with you through hot or cold

But I would tear it from the cloth

Yeah, I would tear it from the cloth

Grow up and knock it off


Cause there's a world awake outside

With injustice and music and july, july

With history's arc,

With your family,

With art.

But it don't mean nothing

Not to you, not tonight


You can't see past the length of your nose

The biggest problems, well you're sure they're your own

That girl you cut loose

Those two friends that cursed you

And all that powder that you can't leave alone


And you say, you know, you know, you know

But I know that you don't, you don't, you don't

Cause if you did, you'd really try

If you did, you'd really try to let all that die


So marry yourself to your work

And crowd your confusion with words

Then round out your life with some records you like

While you bury your love in the dirt


Cause it's endless, the ditch you can dig

You're stubborn, and you're prideful, and you're all over it

So I suggest you make sense of the time you've got left

So you don't end up back where you've been


And you say you won't, you won't, you won't

And I hope that you don't, you don't, you don't

But if you mean it, then stand up and fight

But if you mean it, then stand up and fight

Cause I mean, it's only your life


I mean it's only your life

To fix or ruin

To figure what to do with

It's only your life

To fix or ruin

Cause no one else is going to do it

Cause it's only your life
