[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)
