[Intro]

[Verse 1]

On occasion, my mouth still bleeds

From when I cut it when I was young

[Verse 2]

Give me, give me one more chance

To make my old friends laugh

To be just a footnote in their paragraph

[Pre-Chorus]

Saw I was down but still looking up from the ditch

So they grew their nails out

They were just trying to scratch my itch

If I started over, I'd do the same again

If I started over, I would do the same

[Chorus]

This is not my swan song or adieu so beware

When they fly my white flag in the air

I'll shoot it down

I'll shoot it down with arrows

[Verse 3]

Because I spent all of my time

Trying to find what I need

But I was biting the hand that fed me

[Pre-Chorus]

It saw I was down but still looking up from the ditch

So it grew its nails out

It was just trying to scratch my itch

If I started over, I'd do the same again

If I started over, I would do the same

[Chorus]

This is not my swan song or adieu so beware

When they fly my white flag in the air

I'll shoot it down

I'll shoot it down with arrows

[Bridge]

So I stopped running, started walking instead

It was all in my head

Nothing's against me

This war was more civil, I realized

I had to secede from both sides

[Solo]

I left myself with no ride home

But it's the last night of summer

And I don't mind walking alone

Remember when we ran naked

In the field behind your house?

[Refrain]

If I started over, I'd do the same again

If I started over, I would do the same

[Chorus]

This is not my swan song or adieu so beware

When they fly my white flag in the air

I'll shoot it down

I'll shoot it down with arrows
