I used to be a stereotype Half alive with half open eyes With a one track mind And a flawed design Feeling like I was lost At sea at only the age of 19 Floating around in alcohol and apathy Taking in too much caffeine and nicotine If we make it outta here alive Just say you won′t look back to see Just who we left behind (there might not be a next time)
With all the ups and downs and turn arounds (might not be a next time) To the breaking up to breaking down (might not be a next time) Yeah we were the ones to say (there might not be a next time)
I used to be a stereotype Someone you′d never recognize With fingers so yellow That they matched the yellow skies And there was a few things I memorized From all those blurry times Like bottles clinking under blinking signs And a few last words from long lost friends of mine If we make it out of here alive Just say you won′t look back to see Just who we left behind (there might not be a next time)
With all the ups and downs and turn arounds (might not be a next time) To the breaking up to breaking down (might not be a next time) Yeah we were the ones to say (there might not be a next time)
And if we make it outta here alive (if we make outta here alive) Just say you won′t look back to see Just who we left behind Just who we left behind
After all the fuck ups and fallouts (there might not be a next time) With all the ups and downs and turn arounds (might not be a next time) Through all the breaking up to breaking down (there might not be a next time) Yeah we were the ones to say (there might not be a next time)
There might not be a next time (might not be a next time)

(Cigarette smoker) I′m sorry, but we′re all unsure How much you′ve had but (We think that you oughta) maybe not have any more
A country home, even if we really tried What if it′s just surprises now? And I bet your dad would like to give us all a slap When are your parents back? d′you know?
Well I never came from no ghetto But it wasn′t nowhere near here Well-spoken girls in stillettos Aren′t something to fear
(Cigarette smoker) I′m sorry, but we′re all unsure How much you′ve had but (We think that you oughta) maybe not have any more
(Cigarette smoker) I′m sorry, but we′re all unsure How much you′ve had but (We think that you oughta) maybe not have any more
(Cigarette smoker) Cigarette smoke doesn′t hide As well as you think And you′d think that it oughta Act as the perfect disguise
Get out the way, mister With your short sharp tips No, I won′t read your lips right now And baby, hey You send a shiver down my spine But do you read my mind Do you... And you′re looking pretty suspicious And probably planning a heist He′s wanting to go to the strippers It makes him feel all nice
