[Verse 1]
I think I'm gonna blast off
Too old for teen angst, too young to be washed
If that's the hand that feeds, then I might as well just cut it off
[Verse 2]
I used to be reckless and too broke to eat
Now all of my friends have bidets in their en suites
Burn every bridge, they said, "You're done in this town"
Yeah, how's that working out?
[Chorus]
I'm failing upwards again
I might pull it off
If I don't fuck this up before it pays off
[Verse 3]
So you're selling insurance? That's so inspiring
Give me two more years, let me know if they're hiring
I'll be honest, it felt pretty great
The free shoes and the critical acclaim
I sold those Nikes, I bought a new guitar case
It's called protecting your investments
[Chorus]
I'm failing upwards again
I might pull it off
If I don't fuck this up before it pays off
[Interlude]
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-ba
[Bridge]
There's no place I'd rather be instead
Even though everybody here is fucked in the head
I'm truly grateful for the life that I've led
[Chorus]
I'm just being dramatic
And failing upwards again
I might pull it off
If I don't fuck this up before it pays off
[Outro]
Thanks for havin' us
It's an honor
And I just wanna thank all the sponsors

Stefan Babcock, quoted in Under the Radar Magazine: “Nestor brought in the original idea, and then it was fleshed out by Zach, then Steve, and then all of these crazy ideas started forming. I feel like it is truly a distillation of the four of our brains and mental states into like three minutes of...
This is truly an example of the unravelling of PUP, the band. This song is just so true to who we are as humans in terms of the lyrics, but also the way the music is arranged. It’s our version of being truly self-indulgent. If we were a prog-rock band, this would be our 14-minute epic. Also, part of...
