A million miles to a cemetery

A flower across your chest

A tear on a smile as you pray to a skyBut it won′t bring back your breath

You know it isn't the love that you wish for

That you were misinformed as a child

′Cause everything in those beautiful stories

Was only a part of the lie

That told you every tongue that you kissed was a royal

And you know that your godmother flies

And it all seems so important

'Til you're drifting off at night

And the weight of your eyes and your face when you cry

Make the days you were young seem ages ago

If you could stay, would you go?

If you could stay, would you go?

Four-by-four, you build your own life story

Build your own life story, build your own

La-da-da, yeah

A million miles and a year went by

And you still can′t find your breath

Your tears went dry as you pray to a god

But he won′t bring back the dead

And it was never a love that you wished for

Even when you were just a child

'Cause you knew everything in the stories

Were only a part of a lie

And the weight of your eyes and your face when you cry

Make the days you were young seem ages ago

If you could stay, we should go

If you could stay, we should go (we should go)

Four-by-four, you build your own life story

Build your own life story, build your own

Four-by-four, you build your own life story

Build your own life story, build your own
