[Verse 1]
Take time, I know
Fastball eventually slows
Sunshine dresses the meadows
There's a newspaper boat for the man in the yard
There's a spot on your sleeve that was made for your heart
As you say it through your teeth that you won't do this again

[Chorus]
Ah-hi, how do we get immortalized?
How do we buy the borrowed time?
Dice, placing bets on a normal life
Pay your debts to the blind in life

[Post-Chorus]
(How did we get here? How did we get here?)

[Verse 2]
It seems like everybody's dying, but is anyone just dying to live?
It seems like everybody's crying, but nobody's really trying to forgive
There's a full-grown man in his boyhood clothes
Every crisis of life, every fork on the road
Is everybody dying, or is anyone just dying to live?

[Chorus]
Ah-hi, how do we get immortalized?
How do we buy the borrowed time?
Dice, placing bets on a normal life
Pay your debts to the blind in life
[Post-Chorus]
(How did we get here? How did we get here?)

[Bridge]
It seems like everybody's dying, but is anyone just dying to live?
It seems like everybody's crying, but nobody's really trying to forgive
It seems like everybody's dying, but is anyone just dying to live?
It seems like everybody's crying, but nobody's really trying to forgive
(How did we get here? How did we get here?)
Oh, it seems like everybody's dying, but is anyone just dying to live?
(How did we get here? How did we get here?)
It seems like everybody's crying, but nobody's really trying to forgive

[Chorus]
Ah-hi, how do we get immortalized?
How do we buy the borrowed time?
Dice, placing bets on a normal life
Pay your debts to the blind in life

[Outro]
(How did we get here? How did we get here?)
(How did we get here?)
