Family Lyrics

are we alone or in this together

death before matrimony

there's a thin line between choice and obligation

the heart and legality



cuz family's where i'd rather be

when i'd rather be anywhere but here

we won't settle for the settle for the settle for the bottom

just to keep us up here



time is a waste, time is so very precious,

time is all wrapped up in us

scared of death more afraid of livin

so you settle down when you've given up



tighten the reigns to steady the rig

more like choking it back from what you can't give

tying the knot's not just not just not just

euphemistic



i'm scared of dying alone too

i'm scared of dying alone too

i'm scared of dying alone too

so what are you gonna do



no gods, no masters, no husbands, no wives

looks like we're in this together

i dreamed we were old and we were alive

thinkin it couldn't get much better



it's just enough having something to live for

once you've been afraid of living too long

so that you didn't mind didn't mind didn't mind

the thought of dying young



i am wed to thought of being alive

and that we are in this together

i'm tying knots all around this place

got a rope that goes on forever



i'll only hold you down in the most literal sense

hold you up like we hold this

this family that's meant to mean to meant to

be what it is
