  • 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

    And it's a long way back from seventeen
    The whispers turn into a scream
    And I'm, I'm not coming home

    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

    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

    And it's a long way back from seventeen
    The whispers turn into a scream
    And I'm, I'm not coming home

    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

    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
    Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

    (Oh, oh, oh, oh) I think I met her at the minute that the rhythm was set down
    (Oh, oh, oh, oh) I said I'm sorry I'm a little bit of a letdown
    (Oh, oh, oh, oh) but all my friends are daring me to come over
    (Oh, oh, oh, oh) so I come over and over and over
    (Oh, oh, oh, oh) so let me buy you a drink and we'll pretend that you think
    (Oh, oh, oh, oh) that I'm the man of your dreams come to life in a dive bar
    (Oh, oh, oh, oh) and we'll go over and over and over
    (Oh, oh, oh, oh) and we'll go over and over and over
    (Oh, oh, oh, oh) and we'll go over and over and over
    (Oh, oh, oh, oh) and we'll go over and over and over

    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

    (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
    (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, life is too short to last long)
    (Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh) Writer/s: John William Feldmann, Mark Hoppus, Matthew Thomas Skiba, Travis L. Barker
