On occasion, my mouth still bleeds From when I cut it when I was young Forgive me, give me one more chance To make my old friends laugh To be just a footnote in their paragraph Saw I was down but still looking up from the ditch So they grew their nails out They were just trying to scratch my itch If I started over, I'd do the same again If I started over, I would do the same This is not my swan song or adieu so beware When they fly my white flag in the air I'll shoot it down I'll shoot it down with arrows Because I spend all of my time Trying to find what I need What I was biting the hand that fed me It saw I was down but still looking up from the ditch So it grew its nails It was just trying to scratch my itch If I started over, I'd do the same again If I started over, I would do the same This is not my swan song or adieu so beware When they fly my white flag in the air I'll shoot it down I'll shoot it down with arrows So I stopped running, started walking instead It was all in my head Nothing's against me This war was more civil, I realized I had to, to see from both sides I left myself with no ride home But it's the last night of summer And I don't mind walking alone Remember when we ran naked In the field behind your house If I started over, I'd do the same again If I started over, I would do the same This is not my swan song or adieu so beware When they fly my white flag in the air I'll shoot it down I'll shoot it down with arrows
