Juliana Hatfield
"As If Your Life Depended On It"


Say hello
As if your life depended on it
Crack a joke, light his smoke
As if your life depended on it

You can't handle his beautiful eyes
And all they symbolize
No flowers in your bottles
No view of the moon from you room
No baby in your belly too

Behind your sleepy eyes
You're hyper-aware of time
Ticking away towards your bed
( Towards your bed )
No one to go home to
Your life is boring you
So you're living for the guy that you just met
( That just met )

There's no such thing as pleasant conversation
It's all just drowning victims gasping for air
You need somebody to save you now
'Cause you are surrounded and they're closing in

He gives me a beer
I take a sip
As if my life depended on it
'Cause everything matters
And if he doesn't take me up inside
I know I'm gonna die

Behind your sleepy eyes
You're hyper-aware of time
Ticking away towards the end
( Towards the end )
No one to go home to
Your life is boring you
So you're living for the guy that you just met
( That you just met )

No one to go home to
My life is boring too
