So tell me this is who you are
They tell me I've got something more
And oh you could be loved
But I don't want the lights to find me when I'm dark and lost
But never on my own
'Cause I just wanna swing like Sinatra
Singing like I can't stop
'Cause I could never rock like a Rolling Stone
I just wanna live like the ones before
And maybe I could play guitar like Hendrix
Or save the world or end it, and
Then maybe they’ll remember me when I'm gone
That's all I could ever want
That's all I want

So I got ten minutes to be all or nothing to
Whoever wants to hear
And I got ten weeks of talking bullshit on repeat 'till I'm burnt out and disappear
But I owe you nothing
And I own my luck
Oh they said you'll never be alone again
But I don't think you understand me or what I fear
But you could be loved
But I don't want to lie to tell myself
I'm more than all the mistakes I've out run
'Cause I'm only here for a minute
And I don't care what you say 'cause I know
You're only here 'cause I'm winning
But I can be my own kind of rock and roll like
I don't really care if you say you don't fuck with me
And I can say what the fuck I want 'cause its down to me
And I got love for you even if you are doubting me
Like oh my God I just can't stop
'Cause I just wanna sing like Sinatra
With ethanol my soundtrack
Cause I could never rock like a Rolling Stone
I wonder how it feels to burn out young, yeah
'Cause I just wanna die before my heart fails
From heartbreak or cocktails
Then maybe you'll cry once you know I'm gone
That's all I could ever want
Oh, that's all I want, yeah

'Cause I ain't scared of livin'
(Does it get easier?)
(No... yes, it gets easier)
(Oh, yeah?)
No I ain't scared of livin'
'Cause it's all we got
What are we breathin' for if we ain't living?
And I don't want your love
I just wanna feel like I'm still livin'
And if there is no God
I know the day I die I lived through heaven
And that I gave it Hell
And if it hurt, oh well
At least that's living
(The more you know who you are and what you want...)
(...The less you let things upset you)
(I just don't know what I'm supposed to be, you know?)
(I tried being a writer, but I hate what I write)
(And I've tried taking pictures, but they're so mediocre, you know?)
(And every girl goes through a "photography phase")
(You know? like horses?)
(You know? take, uh, dumb pictures of your feet?)
(You'll figure that out, and I'm not worried about you)
