lyrics

Verse
God called but I missed it
Guess I wasn’t really listening
Got caught up in my headset
Sitting high on this park bench

and everybody's on the run
But there's nothing going on
But there's nothing going on

Chorus
Guess I’d rather die in this beat up car
Rather wave goodbye than be torn apart
When the wheels come falling off
Take me right down to the rocks
Guess I’d rather die in this beat up car

Guess I’d rather die, if I even get that far

Verse 2
A lost cause on the swingset
Back and forth but I’m over it
Still searching for a mindset
It’s taking too long to forget

and everybody's on the run
But there's nothing going on
But there's nothing going on

Chorus
Guess I’d rather die in this beat up car
Rather wave goodbye than be torn apart
When the wheels come falling off
Take me right down to the rocks
Guess I’d rather die in this beat up car

Outro
If I ever even get that far x3
When the wheels come falling off, Take me right down to the rocks x2
Guess I’d rather die in this beat up car x4
When the wheels come falling off, Take me right down to the rocks x3
If I ever even get that far x4
Guess I’d rather die in this beat up car
