AJR - Overture OK
These are our drums
This is our melody
Now listen closely, as our drums become our melody
Now here's our song
So let me play my violin for you
So let me play my violin for you
The truth is that I'm screwed
One two, on-one two three four
One two, on-one two three four
I've got friends in a lot of weird places
Wonder if they ❲?❳ (two three four)
I've got friends in a lot of weird places
Wonder if they ❲?❳ (Yeah yeah yeah, yeah)
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah
Humpty dumpty, went humpty dumpty, went humpty dumpty went down
He said, "screw it", Ima ❲?❳ right through it and I'll scream when no one's around
Humpty dumpty, went humpty dumpty, went humpty dumpty went down
He said, "screw it", Ima ❲?❳ right through it
And I'll scream when no one when no one when no one's around, oh
Around, oh
Around, oh
Around
And I'll scream when no one when no one when no one's around
One day, maybe someday, I'll be so out of touch
I'll become a trumpet or a drum-set in a sad orchestra
One day, maybe someday, in a world speeding up
It's getting hard, so very hard, to keep up
One day, maybe someday, I'll be so out of touch
I'll become a trumpet or a drum set in a sad orchestra
One day I won't know what to write
And I can't be 18 my whole life
But I'm too fucking young to feel so fucking old
But I'll try, and I'll try, and I'll try
But I'm not dead yet, so I guess be alright
★ Outro ★
Bang bang bang
But I'm way less sad
Bang bang bang
But it's all I have
But I'm not dead yet, so I guess be alright
