Verse 1
I Was Twelve And Wise Beyond My Years
I Was Hell-Bent On Understanding Why I Feel What I Feel
So Easy To Think It Makes Some Difference
Somebody Tell That Kid To Go Enjoy A Bit Of Blissful Ignorance
Pre-Chorus
I'd Be Sitting At The Right Hand Of You Jesus
If Self-Awareness Was The Final Step
But The Hours Intellectualizing Reckoning With What's Inside Me
It Ain't Got The Message Through Quite Yet
Chorus
So I'll Run Consecutive Red Lights
I'll Speed Right Past The Cops
Turn The Music Up Until The Neighbours Start To Talk
And I'll Mess It Up So Bad And Just Start Over
I'll Go And Get So Drunk, I'll Have To Get Sober
Verse 2
I Swear I'm Just Working Through My Options
But Then We'll Be Permanently Damaged
Don't You Ever Get Exhausted
From The Same Conversation Every Month Of Every Year
Maybe A Little Self-Destruction Will Kick The Healing Into High Gear
Pre-Chorus
Don't Show Any Mercy For Me, Father
When This Prodigal Finally Finds His Way Home
But Forgive The Wasted Soul-Searching
All The Lessons Without Any Learning
Don't Worry, This Time I'm Going For Broke
Chorus
So I'll Run Consecutive Red Lights
I'll Speed Right Past The Cops
Turn The Music Up Until The Neighbours Start To Talk
And I'll Mess It Up So Bad And Just Start Over
I'll Go And Get So Drunk, I'll Have To Get Sober
Instrumental Break
Bridge
If It's Darkest Before The Dawn
Come And Find Me, I'll Be Blacked Out In Your Lawn
If It Gets Worse Before It Gets Better
I'll Dig To Rock Bottom, Over Being Halfway Healed Forever
If It's Darkest Before The Dawn
Come And Find Me, I'll Be Blacked Out In Your Lawn
If It Gets Worse Before It Gets Better
I'm Almost There, But Just In Case It's Now Or Never
Chorus
So I'll Run Consecutive Red Lights
I'll Speed Right Past The Cops
Turn The Music Up Until The Neighbours Start To Talk
And I'll Mess It Up So Bad And Just Start Over
I'll Go And Get So Drunk, I'll Have To Get Sober
Outro
Get Drunk And Get Sober
Get Drunk And Get Sober
Get Drunk And Get Sober
Get Drunk And Get Sober
Get Drunk And Get Sober
Get Drunk And Get Sober
