[Verse 1]
The way that I felt when I saw their face
In the back of the L, the red line CTA
I was like
Oh shit, 'cause I was wholly unprepared then
(To face the matter at hand)
To face the matter at hand

[Chorus]
And I’ll be in the back of the phonebook
You see, I’m a loser who can’t help
But look your way, because today
I’m a loose cannon at my end

[Verse 2]
Into the crowd, I disappeared in space
And the doors closed off
My heart began to race, I was like
I’ll bet that I was wholly unprеpared then
(To face thе matter at hand)
To face the matter at hand

[Chorus]
And I’ll be in the back of the phonebook
You see, I’m a loser who can’t help
But look your way, because today
I’m a loose cannon at my end
[Bridge]
I know i’m surely wasted
These are my reservations
Laid out on a page for all to see
You caught the elevator
I walked home to catch the neighbors
Still outside they wave hello to me

[Chorus]
And I’ll be in the back of the phonebook
You see, I’m a loser who can’t help
But look your way, because today
I’m a loose cannon at my end
