Shelf Life ​sElf

[Verse 1]
It's taken over
Against the grain, against the wall
I'm thinking every day
Is nothing everlasting?
I miss your patience
I miss the ground beneath
I'm asking everything of you

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I know that the way it's often said and done is unavoidable
When you're talking to yourself
I know fairy tales are make believe
But I can wait around

[Chorus]
Up on the roof, up on the shelf
Life is taking over
I can't bear when the waiting's all been done
And I've still not had my fun
It's taking over, yeah

[Verse 2]
Turn off your bedroom eyes, sad and lonely
I'll pack up all my shit, I'll sell all my CDs
We've confirmation of no reverberation
That's why I'm asking anything of you
