Temperate Lives

When I first set out to write a record
My outlook was positive
I'd sing about my summer
And the people that I spent it with
But the last four months have shown me
There's a trade-off to be made
Now I'm not so fucking chipper
Like this is never gonna be the same
But hey, we take it on the chin when they say
That we don't, we don't, we don't deserve
Anything from anyone
See, if I'm writing to affect your temperate lives
Then I guess I'm sacrificing mine
I watch the planes that change the skyline
And hope that death found those who believed it was right
Hey, we take it on the chin when they say
That we don't, we don't, we don't deserve
Anything from anyone
Hey, we take it on the chin when they say
That we don't, we don't, we don't deserve
Anything from anyone
Well, it's you who's affecting I
And I'll still sing about my summer
But it's you who's affecting I
So I'll still sing about it
But it's you who's affecting I
So I'll still sing about my summer
And it's you who's affecting I
And I'll still sing about it
But hey, we take it on the chin when they say
That we don't, we don't, we don't deserve
Anything from anyone
