was i wrong? did i write this song
just to make my album longer?
is it strange? did our pains exchange?
'cause my music's made me a stranger
and i guess it's alright if we talk tonight;
i've got nothin in mind, so i might as well start a fight
and i think the kids'll dig it if they hear how hard i tried
to fight and strive and make it right
yeah, it's gonna sting a bit
but i don't give a shit
i'm getting over it!
yeah im gonna write myself a hit
pay all my debt in stone and spit.
this is fun. pushed my lover on
just to make my lyrics stronger.
i oughtta win if i stay in the hole i'm in
while my music makes it bigger.
and i suppose it's alright if we talk tonight
i had nothin in mind, so i might as well start a fight
and i think the kids'll dig it if they hear how hard i tried
to fight and strive and make it right.
oh yes, they warn us about this,
they make movies about this,
yes they try to prevent this.
yeah, tim kasher wrote all about this,
but it seemed so romantic
