Shortsighted Video (MV)

True love is a freight train and we were meant to be
The time that I spend with her is the only time I'm free
I hope you find your true love too to cheer you up when you feel blue
I promise you, I'll try not to be sad if it ain't me

'Cause life's too short to be hangin around
Wasting all your time just feeling helpless, paranoid and upside down
Wondering if that old friend is ever gonna make her way through town
Feeling sentimental about those times you know won't ever circle round

True love is a bottle, but that's just cause I'm weak
I don't hit the bottle, no, the bottle it hits me
I hope you leave your true love too, like I am always meaning to
And laugh and live and love and do just what you wanna do

'Cause life's too short to by tryin' to drown
Trading all your money just for one more night that you can black out
Waking in a cold sweat, flinching hard at every light and sound
I'm tappin' out

I hope all your dreams come true except those nightmares haunting you
I hope your sleep is sweet and deep and shared with pleasant company
Me, I'll keep bouncing around, east-bound, north-bound, west-bound, south
Until they nail my coffin shut and shove me in the ground

I'll move on up to Canada and pick some apples there
I'll move to Colorado where those ancient mountains stand
I'll move on down to New Orleans and start a jazz-punk band
I'll move to California and I'll sleep out in the sand

'Cause life's too short to be hangin' around
Trading all your time just saving up to have a kid or buy a house
I know that there's no paradise, but I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself
I'm tapping out
