This Is How It Ends

I hope to god we make it

we're running low on backup plans tonight

i'm scared to death of failing

i'm throwing everything i've got in to

making sure that it's not over and we're not out

this is how it goes

you'd never guess we're heroes from the hoods and the headphones

a little shy at first

but give us time we're building up to something that you'll love

we are six months late

but nothing's changed

you're all still waiting for us

to come through as the seconds count down

save the day

we are specialists in second chances

third time lucky this time round

close enough to taste it

but could have guessed it's bitter-sweet by sight

just promise me it's worth this

i promise i'll keep going even though

we are catalysts for close-calls and sellouts

this is how it goes

you'd never guess we're heroes from the hoods and the headphones

this is how this all should end now

this is how it goes

trying to make beginners luck hold out til we turn pro

never let a good thing get in the way

of talking up a good game we never play

and calling out the bad guys

just to save the day again
