[Verse 1]

Trinity Bellwood Park, after dark

Find me in the crater

We can go make fire

No one's there most nights

Afterwards, we can drift

Slightly west

Ossington forever

There's a bar there, knows me by name

At least I think

When you're a suburb kid

Edgin' on the six

The city sings to you, no, no

Painted Lady, call the tune

Now you're a former home

I have grown

Chose to go

And I'm not sure what to do

With the memory of you

With the memory of you

[Chorus]

Ex-life (Ex-life)

I know it's rude to ask, but

Please keep me on your mind

As I throw you in my taillights

Ex-life (Ex-life)

I know I don't deserve to

Make a home in your dreams

When I'm tryin' to hit the pavement

[Verse 2]

Call up a high school friend

Almost-friend

How you been?

We've been grown separately for years

That's been good to me

Wonder if we've all changed

Kind of strange

I am usually the last one

To recognize growth

Now it's all I see

There's been a couple people buried and a couple people born

What can you do? (Oh no)

Tomorrow's chasin' either way

Even if you can't stay

For a drink

Couple drinks

And some nostalgia, that's okay

So nice to see you still

So nice to see you

[Chorus]

Ex-life (Ex-life)

I know it's rude to ask, but

Please keep me on your mind

As I throw you in my taillights

Ex-life (Ex-life)

I know I don't deserve to

Make a home in your dreams

When I'm tryin' to hit the pavement

[Bridge]

You know, you make it hard to go

You'll always be halfway home

And when I do come back, you'll know

And when I do come back, you'll know

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

I remember where I came from

In Toronto, it started

With my brothers, it grew some, oh

I remember where I came from

In Toronto, it started

With my brothers, it grew some, oh

I remember where I came from

In Toronto, it started

And in Boston, it grew some, oh

I remember where I came from

In Toronto, it started

With my brothers, it grew some

[Chorus]

Ex-life (Ex-life)

I know it's rude to ask, but

Please keep me on your mind

Now I've got you in my headlights

Ex-life (Ex-life)

I know I don't deserve to

Make a home in your dreams

Now I'm tryin' to take you with me

Ex-life (Ex-life)

You know I know it's rude to ask

But please keep me on your mind

As I try to throw you back to

Ex-life (Ex-life)

I know I don't deserve to

Make a home in your dreams

Now I'm tryin' to take you with me

[Outro]

All that we are

Collapsin' stars

Each of us particles

Dust under the sun

All that we are

Collapsin' stars

Each of us particles

Dust under the sun

All that we are

Collapsin' stars

Each of us particles

Dust under the sun
