It Don't Suit Me (Like Before)

Lyrics

Well we haven't got all night
 Come on and raise a toast
 We're only one time aiming for the sun
 Thought we'd be grinding all our gears
 Til we're giving up the ghost
 And grieving from the ties that we'd undone
 I'm still staring at the sky, like at the start
 With all these heavy anchors on my heart
 But they don't suit me, babe, like before
 They don't suit me like they did before
 Always waving flags and waging wars
 But it don't suit me like before
 It don't suit me like before
 Well folks like me and you
 We don't know how to call a truce
 And when we can't lose the fight, we just lose touch
 So we sit comparing scars
 Strumming on the stars
 And leaning on the oldest, closest crutch
 Don't let me turn to dust to turn a phrase
 Could you help me wash these years off of my face?
 But they don't suit me, babe, like before
 They don't suit me like they did before
 Always waving flags and waging wars
 But it don't suit me like before
 It don't suit me like before
 I used to have a prisoner's point of view
 Now I only care for being seen by you
 Cause they don't suit me, babe, like before
 It don't suit me like it did before
 Always waving flags and waging wars
 But it don't suit me like before
 It don't suit me like before
 No, it don't suit me like before
 It don't suit me like before
