Cover art for Trading Heartbeats lyrics by Every Avenue

dave's mom was such a compulsive liar when he was growing up that he used to get reallyreally mad at her. then they would get in to HUGE fights and she would leave and go out and get drunk. and she would come home and tell him her stories about the bar. but he wouldnt listen. and then she was drinking one night and she got a heart attack and had to have open heart surgery. and she kept having to get new hearts "trading heartbeats" and she kept making her sheets dirty so she kept getting new sheets and giving her old ones to her friends. "changing the person between the sheets" and then on the car rides home from the hospital they always sing together cause she was alive. and she always promise she would never drink again, but she did. and it kept goi9ng on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. that was the last time though.
