One day on one tombstone, all our names should go We shared a life The beauty and the ugliness Through all the pain and death 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, oh, when I find That the outcome's just not right From what I just did You're the only thing I can breathe through And here my sweet friends, a few lines of poetry It 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 Yeah, to pull me off CHORUS 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)
