The Way I Live My Life Lyrics

You said you'll always be there

So did my ex from last year

We haven't talked since they walked out

I like the way you kiss me

With your hands on my waist

But trust me

This can't be all I think about

But I would really like it if you took me out

In the tungsten light when there's no-one about

I would really like it if you took me home

If you kissed me til I can't breathe

And then you left me alone

I can't love you more than my sister

Or my best friend

Or my long walks on the weekend

Or my old room in Scotland when it's pouring down outside

Iced green tea

Or bad movies

Or the way the beat moves through me

You'll always come second to the way I live my life

Oh yeah

Oh, oh yeah

Oh, oh, oh yeah

I guess I'm independent

But I listen to my friends

They said that this song isn't mean

(Technically!)

I'm all I've ever needed

Guarded but kind of sweet

A big heart but it only beats for me

(That's right!)

Something that you should know about someone like me

Is I don't got much patience for eternity

And I'll just send you home when I wanna sleep

I can't even say I'm sorry 'bout it

I can't love you more than my sister

Or my best friend

Or my long walks on the weekend

Or my old room in Scotland when it's pouring down outside

Iced green tea

Or bad movies

Or the way the beat moves through me

You'll always come second to the way I live my life

Oh yeah

Oh, oh yeah

Oh, oh, oh yeah

Sweet nothings send me running

It's all boring

White lace has its place

But you're not moving into mine

Not about needing space

I just don't want you all the time

I can't love you more than my sister

Or my best friend

Or my long walks on the weekend

Or my old room in Scotland when it's pouring down outside

Iced green tea

Or bad movies

Or the way the beat moves through me

You'll always come second to the way I live my life

Oh yeah

Oh, oh yeah

Oh, oh, oh yeah

I can't love you more than my dog

I can't love you more than my favourite job

I can't love you more than that Sufjan song

I can't love you more than catching frogs

I can't love you more than a freezing swim

I can't love you more than where I live

I can't love you more than a dead poet

I can't love you more than a good sandwich
