“The Record” is the first track on State Champs’ self-titled, self-released EP and the fifth track on their EP titled Apparently I’m Nothing.
[Verse 1]
Well, I intend to drive through the night
And wonder if I'm ever not on your mind
I wrote a song for you so shout out every line
Well, I think it's time for me to be all I've wanted to be now
Well, I think it's time for me to show how much I care
[Pre-Chorus]
We couldn't make this town our own (I'm keeping secrets)
So good luck with being on your own
[Chorus]
Watch what you say
Desperation might just take you to your grave
Let the record show you brought this on yourself
[Verse 2]
Well, I intend to walk through the night
And end up on the wrong side of the tracks of my train of thought
Well, I think it's time for me to be all I've wanted to be now
Well, I think it's time for me to show how much I care
[Pre-Chorus]
We couldn't make this town our own (I'm keeping secrets)
So good luck with being on your own
[Chorus]
Watch what you say
Desperation might just take you to your grave
Let the record show you brought this on yourself
To prove how much I knew you knew better
You went and you said her name
To prove that we'll never be the same
We'll never be the same
[Bridge]
This love story's a bust, I choose my friends
I'd rather be in love with them
This love story's a bust I choose my friends
(my friends)
[Chorus]
Watch what you say
Desperation might just take you to your grave
Let the record show you brought this on yourself
To prove how much I knew you knew better
You went and you said her name
To prove that we'll never be the same
Be the same
We'll be the same
