Needed a car, looked around for a week
For two dollars down I signed my name on the lease
There was a knock on my door, old man wants his keys
All he said was something about bankruptcy

Oh no, here we go
There ain't no day that's different from the day you know that
Life's too short for days like these
Try to close my eyes and just go back to sleep
It's hard to keep running when you're down on your knees
Life's too short for days like these

Minding my own business in a restaurant
Trying to get some dinner but then guess what?
Some chick got there I slept with, threw her drink in my face
And then her ugly brother kicked my ass all over the place

Oh no, here we go
Ain't no day that's different from the day you know that
Life's too short for days like these
Try to close my eyes and just go back to sleep
It's hard to keep running when you're down on your knees
Life's too short for days like these
Too short baby

I met her last night at quarter to three
I couldn't believe that she came home with me
Woke up this morning scratching now I know when to leave
They say you lay down with dogs, you wake up with fleas

You know that life's too short for days like these
Try to close my eyes and just go back to sleep
It's hard to keep running when you're down on your knees
Life's too short for days
Life's too short for days like these
Seems like lately baby it's all trick or treat
I'd get up and dance if I could get on my feet

Life's too short for days
Life's too short for days
Life's too short for days like these

Life's too short for days like these
Wish I could close my eyes and just go back to sleep
It's hard to keep running when you're down on your knees
Cause life's too short
You know that life's too short for days like these
They say life's too short
