Making my escape

Making my escape

Tell myself that

Everything's in shape

Everything's in shape

But me

How long can this take

How long can this take

Tell myself that

Everything is great

Everything is great

Well how'm I doing?

I gotta great idea

I'm gonna wait right here

I gotta great idea

I'm gonna wait right here

While everything is adding

Up, up, up

Everything is adding

Up, up, up

Breaking both my hands

Breaking both my hands

Telling me to

Take it like a man

Take it like a man

I can't

I don't understand

I don't understand

Please repeat whatever you just said

Nothing's making sense

Well how'm I doing?

I gotta great idea

I'm gonna wait right here

I gotta great idea

I'm gonna wait right here

While everything is adding

Up, up, up

Everything is adding

Up, up, up

They're breaking both my hands

They're breaking both my hands

And telling me to

Take it like a man

And take it like a man

Well fuck that

I don't understand

Said I don't understand

So please repeat whatever you just said

'cause nothing's making sense

Well how'm I doing?

I gotta great idea

I'm gonna wait right here

I gotta great idea

I'm gonna wait right here

While everything is adding

Up, up, up

Everything is adding

Up, up, up
