lyrics

So your weight's on my last leg
Oh, it's gonna be there when you get back
It's gonna be there when you get back
It's gonna be there when you get back
It's gonna be fair when you get back

Waiting in doubt to see if it will change
The sky is blacked out just waiting for the rain
I'm the lookout so I can turn around
The wedding was done but I still heard the sound

So I know that I'm not the biggest deal
But we all look up to fools around here
But we all look up to fools around here
But we all look up to fools around here
So put on some dirt and go somewhere

Waiting in doubt to see if it will change
The sky is blacked out just waiting for the rain
I'm the lookout so I can turn around
The wedding was done but I still heard the sound

Come down, walk out we're so cliche
Step out of the light let them see your face
Cause there's nothing wrong now with what you've done
It's a better haul than what never happened

Waiting in doubt to see if it will change
The sky is blacked out just waiting for the rain
I'm the lookout so I can turn around
The wedding was done but I still heard the sound

You're too liked to be a vagrant
You're too edgy to be kind
The tracing got all the praise
A new shortcut was made
Another genius was born
Without his own god damn name
You're too liked to be a vagrant
You're too edgy to be kind
