[Verse 1]
I hate looking at my phone
But it's all that I do
What do I need that I can't get from you?
Seems like you're never off the clock
Hands at ten and two
Driving through this world like someone's after you
[Chorus]
I'd rather lose
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I'd rather lose
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I'd rather lose
[Verse 2]
Every picture that I take
Every word that I say
Ends up a footnote on my resume
Are you happy with your life?
Am I happy with mine?
Where is the innocence we hid behind?
And who were those kids who knew where to draw the line?
[Chorus]
I'd rather lose
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I'd rather lose
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I'd rather lose
[Bridge]
We only get one chance in this life
And I won't spend it playing with you
Some people roll the dice and some people doctor the truth
[Chorus]
I'd rather lose
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I'd rather lose
I'd rather lose
If the only way to win
Is by breaking all the rules
I'd rather lose
Oh, I'd rather lose

We live in a cultural moment of ‘win at all costs’ and that may afford small victories in the short term but this song tries to explore the idea of trying to live according to your moral compass, whatever that might be. It’s easy to run out of patience and give into temptations on any given day, but...
