about

this and tuesday are our most collaborative songs, writing wise, which is probably why they're both very pretty and extremely depressing.

lyrics

[1]

i bet on bad luck
dogs that race on broken legs
id rather know i’m losing
than let it take me in
she says "things change all the time"
but i need proof

if its a bad trip
why do you refuse to quit?
why are you running from
your fear of god and government?
she says i look down on life
but that isnt true

[CHORUS]

dont you know i’m never gonna
give you what you think you want
every time i think im better
i cant settle, i shut off

jesus im a decent person
i just dont know where to start
i can give you proof that im not
such a fatalist at heart

oooohhhh

[VERSE 2]

how do you stick around
when all you want is space?
how does your mother always
hear from you on holidays?
how do you keep getting up
when youre getting hurt?

you got a bad hand
baby join the losing team
you either hit back
or you let it make you mean
going colds an easy fix
but it makes it worse

[PRE CHORUS]

dont you know i’m never gonna
give you what you think you want
every time i think im better
i cant settle, i shut off

jesus im a decent person
i just dont know where to start
i can give you proof that im not
such a fatalist at heart

[BRIDGE]

and you never call me out
until the bedroom door is shut
every fight i start
youre on my right
to back me up
arent you gonna
tell me youve had enough?
when will ya say
“hey baby im giving up”?

[VERSE 3]

she said "the leaves fell"
i said "im not going back"
i was a dead end kid
now im the culdesac
go from changing all the time
to i dont wanna change

she says “thats growing up”
i say "where does it end?
you go from staring down the barrel
to staring down the band"
i wanna be just like her
but i cant see past may

[CHORUS]

dont you know i’m never gonna
give you what you think you want
every time you think im better
i cant settle, i shut off

jesus im a decent person
i just dont know where to start
i can give you proof that im not
such a fatalist at heart
