Distractions from the ordinary   Real life just not good enough   Explanations hard to come by   Living life outside the institutions   Waking in awkward situations   I wouldn't have it any other way      I can't recall a better time   Each day felt like the next would never come   I realise I couldn't get enough   Alternatives all felt like death   I wish I could safely say   All the right decisions were always made   Yeah, we were young but we're still here   Happy to starve for another year      It seems so right for one to assume   That whatwe are is what we see   What we buy, who we do   I would've ended up that way, if not for those miles   Those endless days   I know it's not for everyone   Empty halls, empty stomachs, empty hopes   In retroscpect we had it all      We didn't choose this life, this life chose us long ago   A web of friends and moments impossible to let go   Though we surrendered what others want to treasure   We ended up with so much more      We didn't choose this life, this life chose us long ago   A web of friends and moments impossible to let go   Though we surrendered what others want to treasure      We ended up with so much more
