lyrics

If I could stay composed and wait
A tailor-made like me could burn all day
If I could save up all my cash
A firework like me wouldn’t burn so fast

Jaime says walk it off, let’s talk
The competition’s on and I swear that it’s a lock
I’m thinking of an old, old friend of mine
He held my shoulders tight and shook me when I cried

If I could count the days I didn’t mind
Slugging trees and screaming lullabies
Leaving off death like it’s a point of view
Putting all the good I know in my rearview

Does that mean I’m damaged goods
Or on the wrong side of I could
If I could go right now, I would

There’s the park where Nat fell out
I was on my knees, but I swear I never fell
She found good in me back when
Everything good was often desperate to begin

If I could count the days I didn’t mind
Slugging trees and screaming lullabies
Leaving off death like it’s a point of view
Putting all the good I know in my rearview

Does that make me damaged goods
Or on the wrong side of I could
If I could go right now, I would
