State Champs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To everyone and everything i'm just a little better can't you tell yeah.
Well dear, i ever try to be different then maybe, just maybe then you'll finally listen.
Try and say it, you'll be alright where you can sleep through the night! (woaaa.) Run the line, run the line, there's gotta be something better then this.
I'm leaving now (get of the ground!) And say this with me: "
So take fight, we're all fucking gone!" (you're crying) "
So take fight, we're all fucking gone!" (you're crying).
So what's next?
what's in it for me?
Neglect to protect, that is just like ego speaking.
But they're right!
Well i'm trying to be different, because maybe, they will maybe then you will finally listen.
Try and say it, you'll be alright, where you can sleep through the night (woaa) Run the line, run the line, there's gotta be something better then this, i'm leaving now (get off the ground!) and say this with me: "
So take fight!
We're all fucking gone!" (you're crying) "
So take fight!
We're all fucking gone!" (you're crying).
What if i said i was bout to be the one to fall down continuously, you'll never know what ive been told Run the line, run the line, there gotta be something better then this, i'm leaving now (get off the ground!) and say this with me: "
So take fight!
We're all fucking gone!" (you're crying) "
So take fight!
We're all fucking gone!" (you're crying)
