Peter Bjorn And John - The Traps My Trip Lyrics

You know it's never gonna last a lifetime
So I say you're better off if you end it now
Then you take a look around the properties
There's a lot to see, let it surround you now
'cause if you are sure you are ridiculous
One can never be not even the best of us

I know, 'cause I've been there

You disappoint yourself if you stay like that
You'll grow bitter, I can see it happening
And then you'll wish you'd done as I said
But it's too late, you're already stuck
and you walk around looking for reasons to make it worthwhile
but you never find them

I know, 'cause I've been there

But if you'd seen her
The first time that we met
She walked up to me, she walked up to me
I never would have guessed, I would come to depend on her
I would come to depend on her

As she approached me, talked to me, spoke my name
she spoke my name, she spoke my name
I never would have guessed, I would come to depend on her
I would come to depend on her

But as it happens
If I picture me growing old without her
without her
That I couldn't bear, I see her by my side
I see her by my side

I need to focus on the things that I do best
and work on that, and work on that
Now I'm working this affair
I won't finish 'til I'm done, I won't finish 'til I'm done

Up until now, I've been only wasting time
Wasting time, I'm wasting time
That's not what I need, the only time I need
Is the time I've spent on this here

And if you say
that I'm held in a trap
Then I shout from the bottom
and the top of me
that is where I wanna be

And if you say
so entrapments your trip
Then I shout from the bottom
and the top of me
if that's how you see it so be it

And if you say
that I'm held in a trap
Then I shout from the bottom
and the top of me
that is where I wanna be

So if you say
that entrapments your trip
Then I shout from the bottom
and the top of me
if that's how you see it, so be it.
