๐ Lyrics
I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
My finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock
And even if I could I would never give up
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung
If and when I die won't you bury me alone?
'Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song
If there was something wrong would you be oh so strong?
Would you do what it takes to move this hollow life along?
I'd like to think I would
You know I'd like to think I would
But I can guarantee that what you see is not reality
And every time she makes a point, I make a counterpoint
She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice
And you know that's only just the way it goes
You said it right man, that is just the way it goes
And the days, and the days they seem like forever
And the days, and the days they seem like forever
But forever isn't ever enough
I'd like to sing a song
Please swear you won't be long
I'll try not to be long but I don't want to get this story wrong
There was a kid who never cared about the little things
Don't even bother because I'm tired and I'm sick of it
And every time she makes a point I'll make a counterpoint
She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice
And you know that's only just the way it goes
You said it right man, that is just the way it goes
I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
My finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
And I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock
And even if I could I would never give up
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung
And if and when I die won't you bury me alone?
'Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song
Oh, you don't know, you dont know, you don't know where I've been
Oh, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know what I've seen
If I did something right, would you give up this fight?
Would you say you were wrong and maybe someone else was kind of right
I'd like to think you would
You know I'd like to think you would
But I can't guarantee that what you get is an apology
Jump back to the day we met, I never thought that it would end this way
If ever I let you down I want to ask of you
To take it down a notch and we can talk it on through
And the days, and the days they seem like forever
And the days, and the days they seem like forever
But forever isn't ever enough
I'd like to sing a song
Please swear you won't be long
I'll try not to be long but I don't want to get this story wrong
There was a chick who never cared about the little things
Don't even bother because I still don't give a shit
And every time she makes a point I'll make a counterpoint
She said it's easy but in the end you'll have no choice
And you know that's only just the way it goes
You said it right man, that is just the way it goes
I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
My finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
And I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock
And even if I could I would never give up
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung
And if and when I die won't you bury me alone?
'Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song
Oh, you don't know, you dont know, you don't know where I've been
Oh, you don't know, you don't know, you don't know what I've seen
So tell me friend, how's it going to end?
When the shit goes down and there's no one left around to get your back
You'll crack, you'll smile and agree with everything they say
They'll try to tell you that it's all okay
But it's not and you're shot and you're bleeding pretty bad
And you can't stop thinking about the things you never had
Like a wife and a kid and the things you never did
You're running around living a life that's empty in the end, my friend
No, you'll take back all you've said
Oh, when the regrets fill your head
Trust me I've been there before
I would not wish it upon my greatest enemy
What irony, once friends, but I find
You'll have to learn this lesson on your own
So I waited by the phone but that phone never rang
And I sang so loud so I wouldn't hear the bang
When the bang never came and I never got the call
Fuck it, thank you, I love you all
Some are going to say that we're doomed to repeat
All our past mistakes, great, but that's not me
And even if it was I would always disagree
Because in the end I always get the better of me
I've got a gun in my hand but that gun won't cock
My finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
And I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock
And even if I could I would never give up
With a vest on my chest, a bullet in my lung
I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung
And if and when I die won't you bury me alone?
'Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song
Oh, I'll take you, I'll take you, I'll take you where I've been
Oh, I'll show you, I'll show you, I'll show you what I've seen
My finger's on the trigger but that trigger seems locked
I can't stop staring at the tick-tock clock
And even if I could I would never give up

[04:56.38] I can't believe I'm dying with my song unsung
[04:58.27] And if and when I die won't you bury me alone?
[05:00.06] 'Cause I'll never get to heaven if I'm singing this song
[05:02.66] Oh, I'll take you, I'll take you, I'll take you where I've been
[05:09.76] Oh, I'll show you, I'll show you, I'll show you what I've seen
[05:19.35]
