A million miles to the cemetery A flower across your chest A tear on a smile as you pray to the sky But it won't bring back your breath You know, it isn't the love that you wish for That you were misinformed as a child 'Cause everything in those beautiful stories Was only a part of the lie That told you every tongue that your kissed was a royal And you know that your God mother flies And it all seems so important Till you're drifting off at night And the weight of your eyes and your face When you cry, make the days we were young seem ages ago If you could stay, would you go? If you could stay, would you go? Four-by-four You build your own life story Build your own life story Build your own La-da-da-oh A million miles and a year went by And you still can't find your breath The tears went dry as you pray to a God, but he won't bring back the dead And it was never a love that you wished for Even when you were just a child 'Cause you knew everything in the stories We're only a part of a lie And the weight of your eyes and your face When you cry, make the days we were young seem ages ago If you could stay, would you go? If you could stay, would you go? Four-by-four You build your own life story Build your own life story Build your own Four-by-four You build your own life story Build your own life story Build your own
