[Prelude]

(Are you recording? I was just thinking...but we're recording now, so I'll tell you later.)

[Chorus 1]

Have my back

I'm headed down a track

And don't know how long I can stand - I can't stand it

Tell me now

Was it worth the row?

Cuz I don't know how long I can stand - I can't stand it

[Verse 1]

I'm made of pieces individually collected, cornered

Made a mockery of me, I told 'em watch me when I'm comin' up

I'm reachin' higher than a Daedalian glider

Best believe I'm riskin' wax to take a chance to find my moment in the sun, the sun, the sun

The sun, the sun, the sun

[Chorus 2]

Check me out

I'm stavin' off my doubts

And I don't know how long I can stand - I can't stand it

Turn my way

I'm fighting back today

And I don't know how long I can stand - I can't stand it

[Verse 2]

I'm showin' up to practice late; I'll grab a bat and guard a plate

I'm stayin' after for the draft, so watch me when I'm comin' up

I'm aimin' higher than a federation flier

Honest innit? Jesus willin', I'll be prayin' like a villain 'til I'm done

I'm done, I'm done - NOT

[Verse 3]

My best impression of a sentimental lesson

Was a girl who made a date to save the planet

But the planet stood her up

She took a bullet to the pitter of her patter

Dropped her younger self a ladder

Said remind me to be kinder when I've won, I've won, I've won

I'm done, I've won, I'm done

[Chorus 3]

Take your time

I know I crossed a line

And I don't know how long I can stand, I can't stand it

Play it back

I've headed down the track

And I don't know how long I can stand - I can't stand it now

It now, it now

No, I can't stand it now

No, I can't stand it
