[Verse 1]

In a room, in a room, it didn't look like this

It had much more lower ceilings and it was delicately lit

I couldn't shake an old girlfriend on my mind

'Cause I was dancing to our old song with a new one

And there's no room, no room for her inside my head

We haven't spoke for eight years, I still feel her fingerprints

'Cause she, laid-back, and I, a little wound

She'd spout her little maxims that she had to calm me down

She'd say

[Chorus]

Go with the flow, with the flow, with the path

You hope for the best, you take what you have

And I have a paddle and a bad idea

Up the wrong way

[Verse 2]

And I heard, I heard, I heard she's married now

There's no word for the emotion that I felt when I found out

It was fiery, but casual, like words put in my mouth

An indifference to some news that would've killed my former self

But no, not now, and I hate how that makes me feel

It undercuts the present like my passions aren't as real

'Cause time will revise both the perfect and the broken

So I have to write a song to keep a snapshot of a moment

[Chorus]

Go with the flow, with the flow, with the path

You hope for the best, you take what you have

And I have a paddle and a bad idea

Up the wrong way

Go with the flow, with the flow, with the path

You hope for the best, you take what you have

And I have a paddle and a bad idea

Up the wrong way

[Verse 3]

And I chose, I chose self medicating woes

Not separating causes from the subsequent results

And I know, I know there's better anecdotes

Than choking on the fits and tantrums I would always throw

And I hope, I hope that I will always grow

But I'ma cut the tongue out of the next one

Who says, "Go with the flow"

[Chorus]

Go with the flow, with the flow, with the path

You hope for the best, you take what you have

And I have a paddle and a bad idea

Up the wrong way

Go with the flow, with the flow, with the path

You hope for the best, you take what you have

And I have a paddle and a bad idea

Up the wrong way

[Outro]

In a room, in a room, it looked a lot like this

I told a bunch of strangers stuff I really shouldn't admit
