One day on one tombstone All our names should go We shared a life The beauty and the ugliness Through all pain and death The birth of a child [CHORUS] Thanks for throwing me the line when I've lost sight of it You're the only reason I can exhale And now, suddenly that when I find that the outcome's just not right From what I just did You're the only thing I can breathe through Here, my sweet friends, a few lines of poetry They may be laughable, but thanks for laughing with me And here's to the next time I wrap myself around a tree I know that you'll be there with bells on to pull me off [CHORUS] And you can tell me a story I've heard before I'll insult your mother Then you can tell me where to go [CHORUS (x2)]
