A million miles to the cemetery
A flower across your chest
A tear on a smile as you pray to the sky
But it won't bring back your breath
You know, it isn't the love that you wish for
That you were misinformed as a child
'Cause everything in those beautiful stories
Was only a part of the lie
That told you every tongue that your kissed was a royal
And you know that your God mother flies
And it all seems so important
Till you're drifting off at night

And the weight of your eyes and your face
When you cry, make the days we were young seem ages ago
If you could stay, would you go?
If you could stay, would you go?

Four-by-four
You build your own life story
Build your own life story
Build your own
La-da-da-oh

A million miles and a year went by
And you still can't find your breath
The tears went dry as you pray to a God, but he won't bring back the dead
And it was never a love that you wished for
Even when you were just a child
'Cause you knew everything in the stories
We're only a part of a lie

And the weight of your eyes and your face
When you cry, make the days we were young seem ages ago
If you could stay, would you go?
If you could stay, would you go?

Four-by-four
You build your own life story
Build your own life story
Build your own
Four-by-four
You build your own life story
Build your own life story
Build your own
