Grow Up and Blow Away - Metric

Grow Up and Blow Away - Metric
Lyrics :

Floating the rent
Two by two
From the womb
To the holiday
There is no holiday
First double-cross her heart
He wants to start a family
Needing something to go on

If she weren't writing in blood
She'd bring him her jokes
A new liver
And a shovel for the mud
If he were not knee-deep in mud
He'd bring her his drugs
He'd get her a typewriter

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...

Nobody knows which street to take
He took the easy way
What was the easy way?
First double-cross her heart
He wants to start a family
She always thought she would not.

If she weren't writing in blood
She'd bring him her jokes
A new liver
And a shovel for the mud
If he were not knee-deep in mud
He'd bring her his drugs
He'd get her a typewriter

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...

First double-cross her heart
He wants to start a family
Her body is the baby.

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...

Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...
Blue to gray
Grow up and blow away...

@haleyjwilson91 Yea I agree, it's been a while since I posted that and I've started thinking something like that. I'm pretty sure that she isn't able to have a child, or had a mis-carriage which resulted to their lives going down hill, and pretty much what you just said. (:

@Canadiangirllovesyou Ok it seems 2 me like the guy who's knee deep in mud might have cancer or maybe he is an alcoholic or a junkie & the shovel 4 the mud represents him getting out of a grave he dug 4 himself. Maybe he's dying. The girl writing in blood must be a junkie 2 cause they say the guy will bring the girl drugs. Maybe she cuts hence the writing in blood. These 2 must be a couple, "he wants to start a family." Then talk about suicide too, "why does it feel so good to die today?"
