If I need more than one listen, then it probably doesn't hit
I've got a pretty little room filled with all my stupid shit
And when I finally move out, I'm gonna miss the walls I made
I've got a burning in my stomach, I've got memories to make
Will I be able to continue without freaking the fuck out?
Will my memories continue being the only thing I've got?
And when I'm making new memories with new people that I meet
Will I be able to suppress the thoughts that have control of me?
Will I be nothing but a walking, breathing, independent mess?
Because the last time I tried independent, I almost killed myself
And will I trust the people that I meet enough to make new friends?
Or will I let my paranoia keep me zipped up on both ends?
(Ooh—)
Fuck that, I'm gonna rule this town tonight
You will never be the same when I leave your sight
The karaoke, the expensive dress
I'll try on all the necklaces on my neck
A recipe for negligence, for sure
Negligence and all the rules, I can make it work
I've spent my young life obsessively
Thinking about how my restlessness get the best of me
And what the fuck's a lamp? I haven't seen a lamp in years
I've got static in my vision, and a ringing in my ears
If a band is two people, then I can be a fucking band
I've got a cliché, and enough pain for two of us, man
What is it about the red lights in my home town that never get old?
Never fail to refresh me, let me do what I'm told
If not for those late night drives, where I'd drag up out of bed
I would have too many shoes because both my feet would be dead
You ask me how do I feel
I say, "I'm feeling just fine"
It's so cliché to say, when I say "fine" to you, I am lying
So why waste all of your time with stupid clichés?
I am in pain, excruciatingly attacking my brain
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, ba-ba-ba (ahh!)
Fuck that, we're gonna rule this town tonight
They will never be the same when we leave their sight
The karaoke, the expensive dress
We'll try on all the necklaces on our necks
A recipe for negligence, for sure
Negligence and all the rules, we can make it work
We've spent our young life obsessively
Thinking about how our restlessness get the best of us
I won't let it get the best of you
If you won't let it get any part of me
I won't let it the best of you
If you won't let it get any part of me
I won't let it get the best of you
If you won't let it get any part of me
I won't let it get the best of you
If you won't let it get any part of me
