My Song
S&D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One by one they'll come along
I'm amazed there's so much patience here
The days are gone for feeling fear
I'm wasting light on the foolish things
Wait and see what progress brings
Then just like clockwork it comes around
The music let's me take the crown, singing
It soothes my soul before I crack up
Like I live in a baptist hospital
The cadences of others sing
And we'll dance in the pure comedy
I'll take you as you were you say
But don't leave me chasing yesterday
I have no choice when I hit that low
The way to normal never shows, singing
And it's a joke, a joke and it's a farce
That we all give as much as we have got
But til you know, you know what this is worth
You'll never see the point in the absurd
And if you run away, you'll always take the blame
Forget the highs and only feel the shame
Because you've tasted glory on your tongue
We are the renegades, we lose until we've won
Sing My Story, Tell My Song
One by one they'll come along
I'm amazed there's so much patience here
The days are gone for feeling fear
I'm wasting light on the foolish things
Wait and see what progress brings
Then just like clockwork it comes around
The music let's me take the crown, singing

Since you have experienced success and happiness before
We are the renegades, we lose until we've won
We are rebellious and unconventional, and we keep striving for victory even in moments of defeat
