Place Your Debts - Jimmy Eat World Lyrics

"Place Your Debts" lyrics Jimmy Eat World Lyrics "Place Your Debts"

Gentlemen, place your debts
Payment in full by future you
I think we can all agree
The ending is off to a great start

The present is soon replaced
In small increments attention fades
One or another way
The house collects its mark

How do we keep making all the same mistakes?
We'd rather have the misery than growing pains

I chose a mystery
Went there alone, intentionally
I had to forgive myself
For grieving imaginary loss

You'll pay with the life not lived
You pay with each thought of what could have been
But nothing adds to the cost
Like missing the ride you're on

How do we keep making all the same mistakes?
We'd rather have the misery than growing pains
Growing pains

Gentlemen, place your debts
I'd wish you good luck, but luck isn't it
The driver and passenger
Don't go the same place

How do we keep making all the same mistakes?
We'd rather have the misery than growing pains
