The Ready Set - 2 & 3

[Verse 1]
Finding purpose in a false start
To be human is a selfish thing
But I paint it like it's high art
And it rhymes, therefore it's what I mean

Sharing serotonin kick-starts
When in truth it is a selfish thing
And I'm trying hard to sound smart
When we talk about the weight of-

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Better days, Vine Street Saturdays
Pretendin' the worst case was growing up
And losing the person I thought I was

[Chorus]
My head's always in the way
My heart's screaming "don't you stay!"
But I'll have one more

On the fire escape
Though I can't see straight
She's my saving grace
My constant state
Maybe I should make a change
Wasting this would be a shame
So I'll have one more

If it were up to me
It would always be
Between 2 and 3
2 and 3

[Verse 2]
Herein lies the reason I've been
Staying out until the good part ends
As if something new will happen
Between us and all our same-old friends

Maybe I should fuck my life up
Then at least I'd get a song or ten
Buy a house somewhere way up
Where I'll talk about the weight of-

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Better days, sun-swept Saturdays
Maybe the worst case is I'll get rich
And spend all my money on shit like this

[Chorus]
My head's always in the way
My heart's screaming "don't you stay!"
But I'll have one more
On the fire escape
Though I can't see straight
She's my saving grace
My constant state

Maybe I should make a change
Wasting this would be a shame
So I'll have one more

If it were up to me
It would always be
Between 2 and 3
2 and 3

[Bridge]
Don't say it's over
Don't say that it's over, nowadays I've found
That when I'm sober I'm always afraid they're finding me out
So, delay on the ground
One stained kiss in my mouth
I guess your boy's gone down

(My head's always in the way
My heart's screaming "don't you stay"
But I'll have one more
Have one more, have one more
Have one more, have one more
Have one more, have one more)
[Outro]
Now I'm two nights off from an issue it's
One way to deal with an apocalypse
Got a number, call that deliverance
But I hate my phone so I'm breaking it

All that I ever do is assess the risk
Hey boy, shut your mouth and deal with it
I'm scared half the time, I'll die from it
But here I go again, drinking it down
(Have one more)
