| 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. |
