Go with the Flow

In a room, in a room, it didn't look like this

It had much more lower ceilings and it was delicately lit

I couldn't shake an old girlfriend on my mind

'Cause I was dancing to our old song with a new one

And there's no room, no room for her inside my head

We haven't spoke for eight years, I still feel her fingerprints

'Cause she, laid-back, and I, a little wound

She'd spout her little maxims that she had to calm me down

She'd say

Go with the flow, with the flow, with the path

You hope for the best, you take what you have

And I have a paddle and a bad idea

Up the wrong way

And I heard, I heard, I heard she's married now

There's no word for the emotion that I felt when I found out

It was fiery, but casual, like words put in my mouth

An indifference to some news that would've killed my former self

But no, not now, and I hate how that makes me feel

It undercuts the present like my passions aren't as real

'Cause time will revise both the perfect and the broken

So I have to write a song to keep a snapshot of a moment

Go with the flow, with the flow, with the path

You hope for the best, you take what you have

And I have a paddle and a bad idea

Up the wrong way

Go with the flow, with the flow, with the path

You hope for the best, you take what you have

And I have a paddle and a bad idea

Up the wrong way

And I chose, I chose self medicating woes

Not separating causes from the subsequent results

And I know, I know there's better anecdotes

Than choking on the fits and tantrums I would always throw

And I hope, I hope that I will always grow

But I'ma cut the tongue out of the next one

Who says, "Go with the flow"

Go with the flow, with the flow, with the path

You hope for the best, you take what you have

And I have a paddle and a bad idea

Up the wrong way

Go with the flow, with the flow, with the path

You hope for the best, you take what you have

And I have a paddle and a bad idea

Up the wrong way

In a room, in a room, it looked a lot like this

I told a bunch of strangers stuff I really shouldn't admit
