[Verse 1]
Every single morning
I load on up
If I am so damn precious
I think I am corrupt

Routine is a madman
And I am just a fool
She is like a sapphire
So I get into a cruel

Sometimes I get tired of
Sleepin’ in my mind
Nights I will spend wide awake
Lookin’ at the time

[Chorus 1]
Why can’t you take what you get?
Why can’t you take what you get?
Why can’t you take what you get?
Baby

[Verse 2]
An entire day goes by
And I still feel ashamed
Oh, I feel bad about my chance
I had but didn’t take

Phosphorescent
Whatever
It’s gotten goddamn bland
If I don’t get no
Rest assured I
Will lose command

12 o’clock p.m. is nice
And nauseous in my head
Maybe I should load up more
And give it up instead

[Chorus 2]
Why can’t you take what you get?
Why can’t you take what you get?
Why can’t you take what you get?
Baby
You never take what you get
Why can’t you, why can’t you, why can’t you take what you get
Why can’t you, why can’t you, why can’t you take, take what you get
