8:55

It started with my arms around you
Like a cigarette (cigarette) (cigarette)
It started when I hung around you
Then I couldn't forget (forget) (forget)

And the way that she smelled
And the way that she held me (held me)
I was nearly dead, then I felt like I was healthy (healthy)

'Cause I breathe
The same air
And I bleed when my skin is bare
'Cause life only comes once a day
And then you throw it away

And a minute slowly turns into seconds
Then you walk the other way
Getting drunk in an apartment
And I don't know the time (don't know the time)

As I look into my mind
And it's 8:55
And I stare at the bottle of liquor
That I left on the floor

And I think about my ex
Oh, I love her even though she's a whore

And I breathe
The same air (the same air)
And I bleed when my skin is bare
(When my skin is bare)

'Cause life only comes once a day
And then you throw it away
Throw it away (don't go and throw it away)

And a minute slowly turns into seconds
Then you walk the other way

And I wake up with my eyes closed
'Cause I am scared of the world (world)
And you shine like a light post
'Cause you're my favorite girl

And I breathe the same air
The same air, and I bleed when my skin is bare
When my skin is bare

'Cause life only comes once a day
And then you throw it away
Don't throw it away (don't go and throw it away)

And the minute slowly turns into seconds
Then you walk the other way
Until you walk the other way

8:55 on my time again
And I'm lost in my head
