[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
