[Intro]
[Verse 1]
So tell me this is who you are
They tell me I've got something more
and oh, you could be loved
but I don't want the lights, to, find me when I'm dark, and lost
but never on my own
[chorus]
'cause I just wanna swing like Sinatra
Singing like I can't stop
'cause I could never rock like a Rolling Stone
I just wanna live like the ones before, yeah
and maybe I could play guitar like hendrix
Or save the world or end it and
Then maybe they'll remember me when I'm gone
That's all I could ever want
That's all I want
[guitar Solo]
[Verse 2]
So I got ten minutes to be all or nothing to
Whoever wants to hear
and I got ten weeks of talking bullshit on repeat 'till I'm burnt out and disappear
but I owe you nothing
and I own my luck
Oh, they said you'll never be alone again
but I don't think you understand me or what I fear
but you could be loved
but I don't wanna lie, to, tell myself I'm more
than all the mistakes I've outrun
[bridge]
'cause I'm only here for a minute
and I don't care what you say 'cause I know
You're only here cause I'm winning
but I can be my own kind of rock and roll
I don't really care if you say you don't fuck with me
and I can say what the fuck I want 'cause it's down to me
and I got love for you even if you were doubting me
Like, oh my God, I just can't stop
[chorus]
'cause I just wanna sing like Sinatra
With ethanol my soundtrack
'cause I could never rock like a Rolling Stone
I wonder how it feels to burn out young, yeah
'cause I just wanna die before my heart fails
from heartbreak or cocktails and
Then maybe you'll cry once you know I'm gone
That's all I could ever want
Oh, that's all I want, yeah
[Outro]
'cause I ain't scared of livin'
- (does it get easier?)
- (No...)
No, I ain't scared of livin'
- (yes, it gets easier)
- (Oh yeah?)
No, I ain't scared of livin'
'cause it's all we've got
What are we breathin' for if we ain't living?
and I don't want your love
I just wanna feel like I'm still livin'
and if there is no god
I know the day I die, I lived through heaven
and that I gave it hell
and if it hurt, oh well
at least that's living
- (The more you know who you are and what you want...)
That's all I want
- (...the less you let things upset you)
That's all I want
[ending]
I just don't know who I'm supposed to be
I tried being a writer but I hate what I write
and I tried taking pictures but they were so mediocre
You know, and every girl goes through a photography phase
You know, like horses, and taking dumb pictures of your feet
You'll figure that out - I'm not worried about you.
