  • I've been up late watching you breathe
    Wondering if you're gonna leave
    Don't tell me what you see
    That you actually believe it
    Fuck, I'm blue
    And all those photos that you like of a better life, better wife, better nights, better high
    Goddamn right I miss drinking
    Yeah, I do

    I've been up late nights
    Staring at the street lights
    All the cigarette smoke, can't escape a closing window
    And my head's like "What happened to, it's alright?"
    Baby, It's not alright
    What if we're a closing window?

    But I can't shake the feeling
    That you picture a better life, better wife, better nights, better high
    I can't shake the feeling (I can't shake the feeling)
    Do you picture a better life?

    I found myself up late feeling kinda jealous
    Looking at the bullshit, other people's wellness
    And it's got me thinking
    It's just not you (not you)
    I've been all night looking in the eyes of my baby
    Right in front of me, what a gift, so amazing
    Oh, that's what's true

    But I stay up late night
    Screaming at the street lights
    All the cigarette smoke, filling up these hopeless lungs
    Oh, and my head's like "What happened to, it's alright?"
    (What’s happened?)
    Baby, It's not alright
    I feel like a closing window

    But I can't shake the feeling (No, I can't shake the feeling)
    That you picture a better life, better wife, better nights, better high
    I can't shake the feeling (I can't shake the feeling, my baby)
    Do you picture a better life?

    I can't seem to understand it
    How did we get so low?
    No, no, no
    I can't seem to understand it
    How did we get so low? (How?)
    No, no, no

    But I can't shake the feeling (I can't seem to understand it, how did we get so low?)
    That you picture a better life, better wife, better nights, better high (no, no, no)
    I can't shake the feeling (I can't seem to understand it, how did we get so low?)
    Ooh, do you picture a better life?

    Oooh
    Do you picture a better life?
    Ooh, do you picture a better life?
    And I wonder, and I wonder
    Do you picture a better life? (Mmm, can't shake the feeling)
    And I wonder (I can't shake the feeling)
    Do you picture
    Do you picture a better life? Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
