Remember when we danced at shows?
Before we all stood in the back
We sang guilty pleasures so damn loud our lungs were sore
The competition can't compete with that
I guess I got back on the horse
As I get on another plane
I'll try to ride it less, mom, and be more responsible
But we both know dad and I are the same
So I need damage control
Another shot of whiskey goes down easy, my reputation does exceed me
Fire in the hole
Soon I'll be falling backwards as expected
I don't know if I wanna do this for you
Yeah, I don't know if I gotta do this for you
Oh, I don't know if I'm gonna do this for you
Yeah, but I'll do this for me
This isn't how I pictured me
Standing on the side, pocketing hands
Answering your questions boringly and humorless
I'm not as important as you think I am
I don't want to make new friends
My friendships always end up in a blaze
I just wanted to be something that I'll probably never be
A happy, well-adjusted human being
So I need damage control
Another shot of whiskey goes down easy, my reputation does exceed me
Fire in the hole
Soon I'll be falling backwards as expected
I don't know if I wanna do this for you
Yeah, I don't know if I gotta do this for you
Oh, I don't know if I'm gonna do this for you
Yeah, but I'll do this for me
Me, I won't impress
Everyone's obsessed with this whole mess of impressions they want to make
I'll bore you with kindness
But once you know you won't impress you'll find that being nice is nice for its own sake
You don't need damage control
Another shot of whiskey goes down easy, my reputation does exceed me
Fire in the hole
Soon I'll be...
Falling backwards, stealing your beers
Crying loudly, singing Green Day
Pumping my fist, getting stared at
Making phone calls saying that I miss the days back when I had real fun
I don't know if I wanna do this for you
I don't know if I gotta do this for you
And I'm sure as sh** not gonna do this for you
But I'll do this for me
So it can be my fault
It can be my fault
It can be my fault
Yeah
