Lyrics

[00:13.23] I know this song has been written already
[00:16.85] It's not gonna stop me from writing again
[00:20.97] Not gonna lie, I don't really wanna live
[00:25.40] I'd rather be honest than impressive
[00:29.58]
[00:38.08] Nothing has changed, and it's 12 years later
[00:41.84] I'm more of a child than I was back then
[00:45.71]
[00:46.40] Positive thinking won't keep ships from sinking
[00:50.33] I will jump unblinking off the plank, say when
[00:55.35]
[01:03.02] This road is long, but my patience is not
[01:10.81] And if I must face the gun squad again,
[01:14.74] Then let me get shot
[01:16.55]
[01:19.12] I will put on my dancing shoes,
[01:23.37] While the gunmen are holding their breath
[01:27.55] And scream, "one, two, three, one, two, three,
[01:30.29] watch me, I'm waltzing with death"
[01:33.68]
[01:44.70] If love is on you need , you won't find it
[01:49.38] Even Dr. Love aches for his lady luck
[01:52.81] He's self-prescribed, and she's bleary-eyed
[01:57.45] I think this verse died, I wish my songs didn't suck
[02:02.40]
[02:03.71] This road is long, but my patience is not
[02:11.38] And if I must face the gun squad again,
[02:15.46] Then let me get shot
[02:17.38]
[02:19.84] I will put on my dancing shoes,
[02:24.05] While the gunmen are holding their breath
[02:28.18] And scream, "one, two, three, one, two, three,
[02:30.94] watch me, I'm waltzing with death"
[02:33.83]
[02:48.14] I keep hoping I will die while I'm sleeping
[02:51.95] But I keep waking up with no alarm beeping
[02:56.03] This punishment's cruel, but not so unusual
[03:00.31] The years they fly by, but the moments, they're creeping
[03:05.91]
[03:08.84] This road is long, but my patience is not
[03:15.84]
[03:16.41] And if I must face the gun squad again,
[03:20.10] Then let me get shot
[03:22.68]
[03:24.94] I will put on my dancing shoes,
[03:28.27]
[03:28.89] While the gunmen are holding their breath
[03:33.06] And scream, "one, two, three, one, two, three,
[03:36.18] watch me, I'm waltzing with death"
[03:38.43] one, two, three, one, two, three,
[03:39.99] watch me, I'm waltzing with death
[03:41.94] one, two, three, one, two, three,
[03:44.12] watch me, I'm waltzing with death
[03:50.32]
[03:51.38]
