[Verse 1]
First thing, we'd climb a tree
And maybe then we'd talk
Or sit silently
And listen to our thoughts
With illusions of someday
Cast in a golden light
No dress rehearsal
This is our life

[Pre-Chorus]
And that's where the hornet stung me (That's where the hornet stung me)
And I had a feverish dream (I had a feverish dream)
With revenge and doubt
Tonight, we smoke them out

[Chorus]
You are ahead by a century (This is our life)
You are ahead by a century (This is our life)
You are ahead by a century

[Verse 2]
Stare in the morning shroud
And then the day began
I tilted your cloud
You tilted my hand
Rain falls in real time
And rain fell through the night
No dress rehearsal
This is our life
[Pre-Chorus]
But that's when the hornet stung me (That's when the hornet stung me)
And I had a serious dream (I had a feverish dream)
With revenge and doubt
Tonight, we smoked them out

[Chorus]
You are ahead by a century (This is our life)
You are ahead by a century (This is our life)
You are ahead by a century
You are ahead by a century (This is our life)
You are ahead by a century (This is our life)
You are ahead by a century
And disappointin' you's gettin' me down

[Instrumental Outro]
