Rumspringa is an Amish tradition where Amish people are allowed to leave the community to experience the world with technology, and can choose to return to their community or forever abandon the Amish life.
[Verse 1]
I was a game
I guess that you just wanted to play house
Playing pretend one day has to end
You've gotta grow up but you want to go out
I've gotta leave cause I'm paid to sing, and
I'll bring home the bacon so you can bathe in it
And I'll catch the red-eye home if you insist
God knows you've got to sleep an extra 10 fucking minutes
[Pre-Chorus]
You're real big shit
In this shitty town
You're burning up and you probably think I'm cooling you down
You're real big shit
In this shitty town
You're burning up, you're burning up
[Verse 2]
I thought that you were just plain selfish
But I don't think that now
Cause I understand that I'm part of the plan
You sick little safe-cracker, cleaning me out
[Pre-Chorus]
You're real big shit
In this shitty town
You're burning up and you probably think I'm cooling you down
You're real big shit
In this shitty town
You're burning up, you're burning up
[Chorus]
Return to Heartbreak Road
Defining moral as you go
And you keep looking back on your terrible acts
They'll plague your guilty soul
[Verse 3]
Exploring all your options
And playing with matches
When you leave tonight
Who's going to clean up all these ashes?
[Pre-Chorus]
You're real big shit
In this shitty town
You're burning up and you probably think I'm cooling you down
You're real big shit
In this shitty town
You're burning up, you're burning up
[Chorus]
Return to Heartbreak Road
Defining moral as you go
And you keep looking back on your terrible acts
They'll plague your guilty soul
Return to Heartbreak Road
Return to Heartbreak Road
Return to Heartbreak Road
Return to Heartbreak Road
And now you're calling me out
Oh, terrible me
