Intro
Verse
Maybe it would be fun, To get a new opinion, Get a little work done And forget
Verse
Maybe it would be cool If I rocked it old school Try to break a gold rule And a sweat
Verse
Riff # 1
Better than the first time Better than the worst time
Riff # 2 Let Ring
If I could just reverse time I'd be set
Chorus
Testing 1,2,3 Can anybody hear me?
If I shed the irony Would anybody cheer me?
If I acted less like me Would I be in the clear?
Verse
She got a new apartment It's out on the escarpment And in her glove compartment Are my songs
Verse
She hasn't even heard them Since she found out what the words meant She decided she preferred them All wrong
Verse
Riff #1
Kind of like the last time With a bunch of really fast times
Riff #2 If we're living in the past time Soon gone
Chorus
Testing 1,2,3 Can anybody hear me?
If I shed the irony Would anybody cheer me?
If I acted less like me Would I be in the clear?
Bridge
We recognize the present
Is half as pleasant
As our nostalgia for
The past'll be presented
Recast and reinvented
Until it's how we meant it
Chorus
let Ring on first E
Testing 1,2,3 Can anybody hear me?
If I shed the irony Would anybody cheer me?
If I acted less like me Would I be in the clear?
He's everything that you need You wiped out on your ten speed
And either he will succeed
end of Riff #2 Or just suck
Chorus
Testing 1,2,3 Can anybody hear me?
If I shed the irony Would anybody cheer me?
If I acted less like me Would I be in the clear?
Begin the...
Testing 1,2,3 Can anybody hear me?
If I shed the irony Would anybody cheer me?
If I acted less like me Would I be in the clear Gee?
Outro
