Rather Be Dead Than Cool

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

We talked all night again, I miss the sweet taste of her skin.

Yeah we talked all night again she can’t do it alone.

We fell asleep in parking lots, cheap hotels and borrowed spots.

She fell asleep with my t-shirt on

Spinning our favorite songs she says she wants to be married.

We don’t know where were going

But we sure know where we’ve been.

We don’t know where were going

But we’re going again.

We pass through your hometown 3 times a year now,

Everything's changed how? You did it your own way

Let change be the constant pace that you wanted

Throw out all caution, we did it our own way

We talked all night again of all the places this could end.

We talked all night again, we can’t do it alone.

Battle cry for the downtrodden. “contender, well it's such a hit

At least with critics and hipster elitists.

So tell me why, I can’t pay my rent.

We don’t know where were going

But to the basements of our friends.

We don’t know where were going

But we’re going again

We pass through your hometown 3 times a year now,

Everything's changed how? We did it our own way.

Friendships are fading, as I keep on chasing

This dream that is taking everything not strapped down.

I nailed it down and I mixed the two.

Between real life, and what is really you.

I took the two and I made a truce

But they broke it again. Fuck

Fuck you, I hate this. You’re all

Presentation, punk rock is safe when

Your judged by your looks

No not the words that come out

We'll do it our own way now
