Lyrics Ex-Life - Audiotree Live Version - Ripe

Trinity Bellwood Park, after dark
Find me in the crater
We can go find fire
No one's there most nights

Afterwards, we can drift
Slightly west
Ossington forever
There's a bar there, knows me by name
At least I think

When you're a suburb kid
Edgin' on the six
The city sings to you
Painted Lady, call the tune
Now you're a former home
I have grown
Chose to go
And I'm not sure what to do
With the memory of you
With the memory of you

Ex-life
I know it's rude to ask, but
Please keep me on your mind
As I throw you in my taillights
Ex-life
I know I don't deserve to
Make a home in your dreams
As I'm tryin' to hit the pavement

Call up a high school friend
Almost-friend
How you been?
We've been grown separately for years
That's been good to me
Wonder if we've all changed
Kind of strange
I am usually the last one
To recognize growth
Now it's all I see

So
There's been a couple people buried and a couple people born
What can you do? Oh no
Tomorrow's chasin' either way
Even if you can't stay
For a drink
Couple drinks
And some nostalgia, that's okay
So nice to see you still
So nice to see you

Ex-life
I know it's rude to ask, but
Please keep me on your mind
As I throw you in my taillights
Ex-life
I know I don't deserve to
Make a home in your dreams
As I'm tryin' to hit the pavement

You know, you make it hard to go
You'll always be halfway home
And when I do come back, you'll know
And when I do come back, you'll know
And when I do come back, you'll know

Good people! Good people!
I'd like to teach you how to sing-
And it goes oh, I remember where I came from
In my hometown, it started
And in this one, it grew some, oh
I remember where I came from
In Toronto, it started
And in Boston, it grew so, oh
I remember where I came from
In Toronto, it started, in Chicago it grew, so

Ex-life
I know it's rude to ask, but
Please keep me on your mind
And I'll throw you in my headlights

Ex-life
I know I don't deserve to
Make a home in your dreams
And I'm tryin' to hit the pavement

Ex-life
You know I know it's rude to ask
But please keep me on your mind
As I throw you in my headlights

Ex-life
I know I don't deserve to
Make a home in your dreams
But you've got one in my memory

All that we are
Collapsin' stars
Each of us particles
Dust under the sun

All that we are
Collapsin' stars
Each of us particles
Dust under the sun

All that we are
Collapsin' stars
Each of us particles
Dust under the sun

All that we are
Collapsin' stars
Each of us particles
Dust under the sun

All that we are
Collapsin' stars
Each of us particles
Dust under the sun
