Lyrics

[Verse 1]
So tell me this is who you are
They tell me I've got something more
And oh, you could be loved
But I don't want the lights to find me
When I'm dark and lost but never on my own
[Verse 2]
'Cause I just wanna swing like Sinatra
Singing like I can't stop
'Cause I can never rock like a Rolling Stone
I just wanna live like the ones before, yeah
[Verse 3]
And maybe I could play guitar like Hendrix
Or save the world or end it
And then maybe they'll remember me when I'm gone
That's all I could ever want
That's all I want
[Verse 4]
So I got ten minutes to be all or nothing to
Whoever wants to hear
And I got ten weeks of talking bullshit on repeat
Till I'm burnt out and disappear
But I owe you nothing
And I own my luck
[Verse 5]
So you'll say you'll never be alone again
But I don't think you understand me or what I fear
But you could be loved
But I don't wanna lie to tell myself
I'm more than all the mistakes I've outrun
[Verse 6]
'Cause I'm only here for a minute
And I don't care what you say
'Cause I know you're only here 'cause I'm winning
But I can be my own kind of rock + roll
I, I don't really care if you say you don't fuck with me
And I can say what the fuck I want 'cause it's down to me and
I got love for you even if you were doubting me
Like, oh my God, I just can't stop
[Verse 7]
'Cause I just wanna sing like Sinatra
With ethanol, my soundtrack
'Cause I can never rock like a Rolling Stone
I wonder how it feels to burn out young, hey
[Verse 8]
'Cause I just wanna die before my heart fails
From heartbreak or cocktails and
Then maybe you'll cry once you know I'm gone
That's all I could ever want
Oh, that's all I want, yeah
[Verse 9]
'Cause I ain't scared of livin'
(Does it get easier?)
(No)
No, I ain't scared of livin'
(Yes, it gets easier)
(Oh, yeah?)
No, I ain't scared of livin' (Look at you)
[Verse 10]
'Cause it's all we got
What are we breathin' for if we ain't livin?
And I don't want your love
I just wanna feel like I'm still livin'
And if there is no God
I know the day I die, I've lived through heaven
[Verse 11]
And that I gave it hell
And if it hurt, oh, well
At least that's livin'
(The more you know who you are and what you want) It's all I want
(The less you let things upset you) It's all I want
[Verse 12]
I just don't know who I'm supposed to be, you know?
I tried being a writer but
I hate what I write
I tried taking pictures
But they're so mediocre, you know?
And every girl goes through a photography phase
You know, like horses
You know, take, uh, dumb pictures of your feet
[Verse 13]
You'll figure that out
I'm not worried about you
