Lyrics
Like a Shotgun
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.
There is no argument here to avoid
And i just had a way of living i enjoyed
A selfish way to live but by design
I was so self centered at the time
You were us and i was only me
And you were only waiting patiently
I think i told you i'm not sure
That i'm so goddamn insecure
A far more much much greater force
Can knock you back and off of course
Like a shotgun if there ever was one
Looked down the barrel of a loaded gun
And it was not intentional
And i am unconventional
Knocked down with a shotgun blast
I've got a feeling it's gonna last
And if it's happening to me
I'm as happy as someone like me could be
I'm not so sure but what i said was true
That's no excuse for what i put you through
And it's just awful if that's how you feel
I'm awfully sorry for the whole ordeal
The sadness and the sorrow and the pain
I swear to god and promisse once again
That i will get around to showing you
So now i'm goddamn going to
A far more much much greater force
Can knock you back and off of course
Like a shotgun if there ever was one
Looked down the barrel of a loaded gun
And it was not intentional
And i am unconventional
Knocked down with a shotgun blast
I've got a feeling it's gonna last
And if it's happening to me
I'm as happy as someone like me could be now
Could be now
