Blurry
Trashed Ambulance Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well stop me if you've heard this one before
It is the tale of me swan diving to the floor
I wish I could say that I didn't deserve it this time
I lose my marbles with a belly full of booze
Even with zero competition I still lose
I wish I could say that I didn't' have it coming to me

They may be nothing but blurry thoughts
But they're really all I got

They're growing tired of the same old song and dance
But all this moron ever wanted was a chance
I fumbled the kick off now everyone's pissed off at me
It seems I've barreled through the point of no return




I stole the instructions but fuck I'll never learn
This dead horse is beaten so I won't be needing your help anymore
