v1:
I brought a song to a knife fight
Took a gun into church
It's clear I don't understand how this world works
I rarely make plans,
but I hope for the best
Not recommended for the final test
ch:
Some folks drink 'til they're smarter
Some drink to be tall
Some pack it on in well before last call
Me? Whatever.
I don't mind at all
I did what I did before the writing was on the wall
v2:
I choose to be happy,
but prefer to be mad
The earth demands patience, and that just makes me sad
In case of emergency,
I hope you run fast
Don't wanna know what happens if you finish last
ch:
Some folks drink 'til they're smarter
Some drink to be tall
Some pack it on in well before last call
Me? Whatever.
I don't mind at all
I did what I did before the writing was on the wall

ch:
Some folks drink 'til they're smarter
Some drink to be tall
Some pack it on in well before last call
Me? Whatever.
I don't mind at all
I did what I did before the writing was on the wall
Drinking my way to the bottom
Loneliest fish in the tank
Another round please if you get em
Hopes and desires all sank
All bottomed out
Drinking my way to the bottom
Soldier alone with his grave
Why do I do it? God only knew it
Is there a moment to save?
Help me out of this devils plan
Help me out if u can?
All bottomed out
Never a doubt
At the risk of rebuke
Surely it was a fluke
How you never grew old by my side
your Laura’s Luke
Is that reference oblique?
I only want to show you
Just how long you’ve made me weak
Someday you’ll believe me
you’ll wish you didn’t leave me
And maybe shed a tear what could be ours
Raise your glass
We’ll drink once more
And dance our way across the stars
I don’t mean to be cruel
But he’s going to make you a fool
Some folks never did learn
The golden rule
I can’t promise I’ll wait
Seems like this heart’s well
past its expiration date
Someday you’ll believe me
you’ll wish you didn’t leave me
And maybe shed a tear what could be ours
Raise your glass
We’ll drink once more
And dance our way across the stars
And maybe I’m lost in the dark
Just a match always failing to spark
And maybe I’m wide of the mark
After all
But you know where I can be found
If you find yourself going to ground
I’ll be here hanging around
In your thrall
Someday you’ll believe me
you’ll wish you didn’t leave me
And maybe shed a tear what could be ours
Raise your glass
We’ll drink once more
And dance our way across the stars
