Remember when we danced at shows, before we all stood in the back?
|
We sang guilty pleasures so damn loud our lungs were sore.
|
Competition can't compete with that.
|
|
I guess I got back on the horse as I get on another plane.
|
I'll try to ride it less, mom, and be more responsible
|
But we both know dad and I are the same.
|
|
So I need damage control.
|
Another shot of whiskey goes down easy.
|
My reputation does exceed me.
|
Fire in the hole.
|
Soon I'll be falling backwards as expected.
|
|
I don't know if I wanna do this for you
|
I don't know if I gotta do this for you
|
I don't know if I'm gonna do this for you
|
But I'll do this for me.
|
|
This isn't how I pictured things:
|
Standing on the side, pocketing hands, answering your questions boringly and humorless.
|
"I'm not as important as you think I am."
|
|
I don't wanna make new friends.
|
My friendships always end up in a blaze.
|
I just wanted to be something that I'll probably never be, a happy well-adjusted human being.
|
|
Me, I won't impress. I'll bore you with kindness.
|
Everyone's obsessed with this whole mess of impressions they wanna make.
|
But once you know you won't impress, you'll find that being nice is nice for its own sake.
|
|
Ya don't need damage control.
|
Another shot of whiskey goes down easy.
|
My reputation does exceed me.
|
Fire in the hole.
|
Soon I'll be falling backwards, stealing your beers, crying loudly,
|
singing Green Day, pumping my fist, getting stared at,
|
making phone calls saying that I miss the days back when I had real fun.
|
|
I don't know if I wanna do this for you
|
I don't know if I gotta do this for you
|
and I'm sure as shit not gonna do this for you
|
But I'll do this for me so it can be my fault.
