I Hope I Don't Fuck This Up

I wanted to dedicate a song to you,

But all of my songs are about ex-girlfriends and puke.

So I sat down to write you a love song.

It was full of clichés

It wasn't impressing anyone.

Even though I tried really hard,

All I came up with was,

"You are a opossum living in the trashcan of my heart.

You're a opossum in my heart"



I'm sorry I left that towel on the floor

So sorry that I snore

Sorry I'm taking my band on tour

Sorry that I'm insecure

Sorry I'm awkward around your friends

Sorry I get jealous when you talk to other men

Sorry I drank all your wine again

Sorry I apologize so much

Yeah, I hope that I don't fuck this up

Yeah, I hope that I don't fuck this up

Yeah, I hope that I don't fuck this up



And she said,

"Don't be so hard on yourself

You fucking idiot, I don't need anybody else

You stupid asshole, I'm for you

and you are for me,

But you've gotta get over your insecurities!"

And that's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me

So I tried to reciprocate with something romantic and sweet



When I got home I thought of the perfect thing to say

But of course in that moment, it didn't happen that way

I just held your hand and looked you in the eyes and I said,

"You're pretty rad too, dude

You're pretty rad too, dude

You're pretty rad too, dude

You're pretty rad."
