nobody takes you where you’re going
nobody counts your drinks
nobody watched the clock when you ran out of time for me
you hear that a lot?
ready or not
ready for nothing
if you lie to us
will it make you feel better?
swear you’re having fun
if it makes you feel better
will it make you feel better?
shuffle around the corner
cause the cold keeps coming back
pick your own poison, we’ll write it off as a heart attack
headache? too hot?
ready or not?
ready for nothing
if you lie to us
will it make you feel better?
swear you’re having fun
if it makes you feel better
curse and cut me out
if it makes you feel better
turn the car around
and get yourself together
get yourself together
up above the weather
it’s cold where you’ve been hiding
the surface is much better
we can be fine
can be fine
can be good
get yourself together
up above the weather
i know you wanna ditch this
but it’s yours forever
we can be fine
can be fine
can be good
