Lyrics

Backflip

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.

I don't see me mad at situations, I see me turn and walk away

I see a tattoo on my right thigh that I will probably regret one day

Yeah, I will probably regret one day

But now, I am happy to be bonding in a kitchen with my friends

A spool of thread, a few more good vibes, a safety pin and a ballpoint pen

A safety pin and a ballpoint pen

A safety pin and a ballpoint pen

And a ballpoint pen

But there are answers here, they're just harder to figure out

Since all your questions got harder to dodge and dip around

And there is nothing wrong with my lifestyle

No matter how many times I tell myself to breathe in, hold it, hold it, now let it out, now let it out

One day I will realize I don't need this because it is just not who I am

Until that day comes, I'll keep my eyes closed, and I will try to feel all of the effects

Yeah, I will try to feel all of the effects

And now I am talking way too fast and a little bit louder than I should,

Trying to say thank you for understanding my side of the story the best that you could

My side of the story the best that you could

My side of the story the best that you could

The best that you could

But there are answers here, they're just harder to figure out

Since all your questions got harder to dodge and dip around

And there is nothing wrong with your lifestyle

No matter how many times they tell themselves just breathe in, hold it, hold it, now let it out

And this is how the cool boyfriend sits in the passenger seat of his girlfriend's car

He's lookin' at me, I wish the light would turn green, set me free, oh set me free, oh set me

Teach my rolling veins where there's a will, there is a way

Just cut me open, let me drain, oh let me drain, oh let me drain, oh let me

I'll move to florida, and I'll buy a brand new pick-up truck

And I'll tint all the windows including the driver's side

Now you can't see me, so you can't touch me

When I sit at the red light and watch your boyfriend wonder if I'm inside

If I am dead inside
