Hey Life - Tune-Yards

Hey life, I am still here

Hey life, I am still here

Hey life, I am calling your name

But all I hear is an echo

Unless your voice and mine sound the same

But hey life, I love you so much I scream and shout

But I’m one foot in, one foot out

Just kinda like running on a roundabout, you know

Now I don’t wanna run out

But I’m runnin' runnin'

I don’t know where to go

But I can’t seem to go slowly, no

I don’t wanna run out

So I’m runnin' runnin'

Hey hey hey hey life

Why do you keep me around?

I can never seem to focus on the task at hand

Ten times a day, I don’t seem to understand

I’ve spent twelve thousand, nine hundred and forty four days alive

Amazing how a human being can still thrive

But I know my days are numbered

I should enjoy the climb

I like to smell the roses but I’m runnin' runnin

All of the time

I don’t wanna run out

But I’m runnin' runnin'

I don’t know where to go

But I can’t seem to go slowly, no

I don’t wanna run out

So I’m runnin' runnin'

Hey hey hey hey life

Why do you keep me around?

I don’t wanna run out

But I’m runnin' runnin'

I don’t know where to go

But I can’t seem to go slowly, oh

I don’t wanna run out

So I’m runnin' runnin'

Hey hey hey hey life

Why do you keep me around?

I woke up feeling albatrossy

Flossing my teeth

I look fine on the surface

But I’m worried about what’s underneath

I woke up with a heartbeat

Like a panic attack

Yackity yackity yackity yackity yack

I can’t tell my brain to not talk back

But hey life

Won’t you push me around

Like a baby in a carriage

'Till you pull me underground

Like a kid who is lost

Waiting to be found

One two three o’clock

Four o’clock

Walk and walk

And talk and talk

And walk and talk

And then five six seven

Seven seven

Heaven heaven

Take me again

I don’t wanna run out

But I’m runnin' runnin'

I don’t know where to go

But I can’t seem to go slowly, oh

I don’t wanna run out

So I’m runnin' runnin'

Hey hey hey hey life

Why do you keep me around?
