Alkaline Trio - Pale Blue Ribbon Lyrics






There's no prize for winning this race
No prize for winning this race
So what's the hurry in the first place?
No prize for winning this race
No prize for winning this race
So why you running off to first base?

It's supposed to hurt sometimes
And we lick these wounds together
Stand up, we're fine
It's okay to need sometimes
And I'll be your hand, your band-aid
Your middle finger

'Cause I want your real life moments
I wanna taste your pain
And I wanna see your war face on that day

You get no prize for winning this race
No prize for winning this race
So why you hurry in the first place?

We're supposed to bleed sometimes
And we make these scars together
They fade, tears dry
Bones will break and realign
There is your crutch you've leaned on
Now stretch out and move on

'Cause I want your real life moments
I wanna taste your pain
And I wanna see your war face on that day

At this rate, you'll get there before I do
And I'll be there before long
Slow down and let's walk it out together
Loser's strong

  6. N.... B....

    I always hear the chorus as "I want your real life moments, I wanna taste your pain. & I wanna see your war face on that day."

    N.... B....

    it's so hard to pick one favorite song for this album... BECAUSE IT'S A FUCKING MASTERPIECE !!!

  12. X.... S....

    I like that little blinkish vibe in here..

  13. T.... R....

    Danny songs rule

    T.... R....

    His solo work omg yesss

  14. S.... B....

    In this one you can hear the blink influence a bit. blink influence, not Feldman influence. I like it!

    S.... B....

    It's the other way around.

    S.... B....

    Dan’s always been a fan of blink

    S.... B....

    This sound is not Blink influenced anymore than any of this style of music is. I llove Blink but this music existed in pretty much this form before either of the 2 bands formed. Tom abd Matt would tell u as much. Is it Dag Nasty of All influenced?? Yup. Even those bands have deep roots but the guitar melody and the overall feel were a big part of the late 80’s sound.

  15. m.... ....

    Is been too long since they have released anything new this more than makes up for it

  16. W.... A....

    God damn this is beautiful

  17. s.... m....
