"Buried" lyrics - ALKALINE TRIO

ALKALINE TRIO
"Buried"

I'm awake, it was a half bad dream
That was way too long, my whole life it seemed
Then someone started digging me up
Turned my headstone into dust

The sun was swallowed by the trees
The night was here for good
You pulled my hand and my head up
You put oxygen into my blood

You walked me through the gates
Like we were visitors for the day
You laid me down in the back seat
And you drove till I woke up to hear you say

You never lie but it's no fun to tell the truth
I guess I've never loved but I will see what I can do
Got so much life to waste
That I would take my days and hand them to you

I'm awake, it was a half bad dream
That was way too long, my whole life it seemed
Then someone started digging me up
Turned my headstone into dust

I know you'd never lie but it's no fun to tell the truth
I guess I've never loved but I will see what I can do
Got so much life to waste
That I would take my days and hand them to you
