Modest Mouse - Lives

The gossip:

It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember
We're alive for the first time
It's hard to remember were alive for the last time

It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember
That our lives are such a short time
It's hard to remember, it's hard to remember
When it takes such a long time
