[verse 1 Hey, put your seatbelt on Word around town is that we'll crash and burn But I, I'm behind the wheel Rollin' down backwards, guess I'll never learn The car's stuck in neutral and the pedals don't work I just spilled saliva on my brand new shirt It wouldn't be so bad but I was chewing a pen And now the ink provides for a permanent stain [pre-chorus (Oh, life isn't going my way) I passed it back there in the rear-view mirror It was going forward, I'm still going back And the sun in my eyes makes it so much clearer [chorus No - (I guess this wasn't the trip I planned) Not the cards I held in my hand The ones I wish had not been dealt And as the icebergs slowly melt I await the incoming tides Convince myself not to hide (And it's hard for me to say), I wish the world would go away (Wish the world would go away) [verse 2 Hey, put your life jacket on Word around the ship is that we're going down But I, I blow into the sail Kind of hoping that we don't all end up drowned The specs I wear, they've been painted black Censored by someone with a lack of tact It wouldn't be so bad, but the girls are pretty And I can't even find, our way back to the city [pre-chorus (Oh, life isn't going my way) I passed it back there in the rear-view mirror It was going forward, I'm still going back And the sun in my eyes makes it so much clearer [chorus No - (I guess this wasn't the trip I planned) Not the cards I held in my hand The ones I wish had not been dealt And as the icebergs slowly melt I await the incoming tides Convince myself not to hide (And it's hard for me to say), I wish the world would go away (Wish the world would go away) [guitar solo [pre-chorus (Oh, life isn't going my way) I passed it back there in the rear-view mirror It was going forward, I'm still going back And the sun in my eyes makes it so much clearer [chorus No - (I guess this wasn't the trip I planned) Not the cards I held in my hand The ones I wish had not been dealt And as the icebergs slowly melt I await the incoming tides Convince myself not to hide (And it's hard for me to say), I wish the world would go away (Wish the world would go away)
