It should have gotten here already
Can't even bother to hide my frown
Pre-emptive blowups, two fingers up
A last hurrah of ne'er do wells before I split town
I'm on my way to greener pastures
And never lay eyes on you fuckers again
So much for a scene that celebrates nothing
My kingdom for a thousand swords and all I have on me is a pen

But that's always how it goes now
I can't leave well enough alone
No one's at my door for any reason
No need to ever pick up the phone
So we can go on the same adventures
We've relived about a million times
Did you really think we can do this forever
Don't you wish that there was something else you could've tried?

I keep a spectre close behind my shoulder
Try as I might, it will not shake loose
Deaf ears for my pleas of respite
It taunts me and it haunts me from midnight to noon
Little whispers of betrayed desires
Little truths I do not want voiced
All I ever wanted was to be in with people
But people can only disappoint

But that's always how it goes now
I can't leave well enough alone
No one's at my door for any reason
No need to ever pick up the phone
So we can go on the same adventures
We've relived about a million times
Did you really think we can do this forever
Don't you wish that there was something else you could've tried?

A seaside town with a population
under fifty-thousand would do just fine
But would the same fractures trail my footsteps
Send the whole resort down the coastline
How am I supposed to face the future
If my past predicts end times
You know what they say about history
It don't repeat but it often rhymes

But that's always how it goes now
I can't leave well enough alone
No one's at my door for any reason
No need to ever pick up the phone
So we can go on the same adventures
We've relived about a million times
I don't think that I can do this forever
God I wish that there was something else I could've tried
