[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
There`s an echo pulling out the meaning
Rescuing a nightmare from a dream
The voices in my head are always screaming
That none of this means anything to me

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
And it`s a long way back from seventeen
The whispers turn into a scream
And I...
I`m not coming home

[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]
Save your breath, I`m nearly bored to death, and fading fast
Life is too short to last long
Back on earth I`m broken, lost and cold, and fading fast
Life is too short to last long

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]
There`s a stranger staring at the ceiling
Rescuing a tiger from a tree
The pictures in her head are always dreaming
Each of them means everything to me

[Pre-Chorus: Matt Skiba]
And it`s a long way back from seventeen
The whispers turn into a scream
And I...
I`m not coming home

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus]
Save your breath, I`m nearly bored to death, and fading fast
Life is too short to last long
Back on earth I`m broken, lost and cold, and fading fast
Life is too short to last long

[Bridge: Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
I think I met her at the minute that the rhythm was set down
I said, "I`m sorry I`m a bit of a let down"
But all my friends are daring me to come over
So I come over and over and over
So let me buy you a drink, and we`ll pretend that you think
That I`m the man of your dreams come to life in a dive bar
And we`ll go over and over and over
And we`ll go over and over and over
And we`ll go over and over and over
And we`ll go over and over and over

[Chorus: Matt Skiba and Mark Hoppus]
Save your breath, I`m nearly bored to death, and fading fast
Life is too short to last long
Back on earth I`m broken, lost and cold, and fading fast
Life is too short to last long
[Outro: Matt Skiba (Mark Hoppus)]
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh (life is too short to last long)
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh...
