[Verse 1]
Gun fire explosion, I want that guarantee
Sometimes I think I coexist with me
And one side makes me old
And one side makes me struggle
I was on the night shift, I said I’ll never run a fight like this
[Pre-Chorus]
In the meantime, I’m gonna shut it tight like a briefcase
In the room mine, it's summertime, can't catch a break
[Verse 2]
Changed by folk implosion when I was 17
Sometimes I feel diminished by beauty
It’s one night she is cold, next she’s making me doubles
I’m drinking moonshine, because I’ve had enough of starlight
[Pre-Chorus]
In the meantime, I’m gonna shut it tight like a briefcase
In my room mine, I'll catch a ride, let it break
[Chorus]
So just sit back, (I don’t mind)
See how long that this takes
Don’t you see I had to pay for that?
I paid for that, I paid for that
And now you’ll pay me back
[Bridge]
Death will come by ocean, I want that guarantee
Sometimes I think I’m offering a dream
[Pre-Chorus]
In the meantime, I’m gonna shut it tight like my briefcase
'Cause in my room mine it’s a summer night and I watch it break
[Chorus]
So just sit back, (I don’t mind)
See how long that this takes
Don’t you see I had to pay for that?
I paid for that, I paid for that
And now you’ll pay me back
I paid for that, in very many steps
I paid for that, now you’ll pay me back
[Outro]
Now you’ll pay me back, now you’ll pay me back
Now you’ll pay me back, now you’ll pay me back
