[Intro]
[Verse 1]
I was, I was, I was, I was
Gonna say something that would solve all our problems
But then I got drunk and I forgot what I was talking about
I forgot what I was talking about
Don't you, don't you, don't you know
There's nothing more cruel than to be loved by everybody
There's nothing more cruel than to be loved by everybody but you
Than to be loved by everybody but you, but you
[Pre-Chorus]
If I can get my shit together, I'm gonna run away and never see
Any of you again, never see any of you again
[Chorus]
I hope the roof flies off and we get blown out into space
I always make such expensive mistakes
I know it's just a number, but you're the 8th wonder
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color
[Post-Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
When they make a darker color
Whoa, whoa
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color
[Verse 2]
Woke up on the wrong side of p-p-paradise
And when I say I'm sorry I'm late
I wasn't showing up at all
I really mean I didn't plan on showing up at all
Don't you, don't you, don't you know
I hate all my friends, I miss the days when I pretended
I hate all my friends, I miss the days when I pretended with you
I miss the days when I pretended with you, with you
[Pre-Chorus]
If I can get my shit together, I'm gonna run away and never see
Any of you again, never see any of you again
[Chorus]
I hope the roof flies off and we get blown out into space
I always make such expensive mistakes
I know it's just a number, but you're the 8th wonder
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color
[Post-Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
When they make a darker color
Whoa, whoa
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color
Whoa, whoa, whoa
When they make a darker color
Whoa, whoa
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color
[Bridge]
If we hadn't done this thing
I think I'd be a medicine man
So I could get high on our own
Supply whenever I can
And I became such a strange shape
Such a strange shape from trying to fit in
I became such a strange shape
Such a strange shape
[Chorus]
I hope the roof flies off and we get blown out into space
I always make such expensive mistakes
I know it's just a number but you're the eighth wonder
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color
[Post-Chorus]
Whoa, whoa, whoa
When they make a darker color
Whoa, whoa
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I'll stop wearing black, I'll stop wearing black
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I'll stop wearing black when they make a darker color
