Ahead of Myself

[Verse 1]
I'm standing in a picture
Wondering how I got here and I
Wish I could step out of the frame
Get somewhere down the line and
See it from far away
I wanna cry in a bathroom
Take it all out on a white wall tattoo
Beat myself to the punch
Be the good guy for once
Instead of the one making mistakes

[Pre-Chorus]
If all is fair in love and war
What am I so worried for?
There's just so much I can't undo
When it comes to you

[Chorus]
I wanna get ahead of myself, so
I don't ever hurt someone else, oh
I wanna run fast enough
So nothing I evеr do will ever catch up
I wanna get ahеad of myself, so
When it comes to loving someone else
I wanna make friends with all I've done
So nothing I ever do will ever catch up

[Verse 2]
I know I can't go backwards
Build a time machine and rewrite chapters
It's hard to break a pattern
Even if it's happiness I'm after

[Pre-Chorus]
If all is fair in love and war
I can't stay where I've been before
'Cause what I know's no longer true
When it comes to you

[Chorus]
I wanna get ahead of myself, so
I don't ever hurt someone else, oh
I wanna run fast enough
So nothing I ever do will ever catch up
I wanna get ahead of myself, so
When it comes to loving someone else
I wanna make friends with all I've done
So nothing I ever do will ever catch up

[Post-Chorus]
No, nothing I ever do will ever, ever catch up

[Bridge]
Oh, I swear I'm almost there
Yeah, I'm one good card away
Oh, I swear I'm almost there
Gotta keep going anyway
Oh, I swear I'm almost there
Yeah, I'm one good card away
Oh, I swear I'm almost there
Gotta keep going anyway

[Chorus]
I wanna get ahead of myself, so
I don't ever hurt someone else, oh
I wanna run fast enough
So nothing I ever do will ever catch up
I wanna get ahead of myself, so
When it comes to loving someone else
I wanna make friends with all I've done
So nothing I ever do will ever catch up

[Outro]
No, nothing I ever do will ever, ever catch up
