lyrics

Half the time I need an alibi
Helps me avoid all the questions why
The whole truth, I swear it hurts
But then again, I guess it could be worse
Live to fight another day
At least that's what they all say
I don't fight much anyway

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I need to get out while I still can
Tell the waitress that I need the check, I need to get out while I still can

I know I'm a coward at heart
Confrontation makes me fall apart
Hear that cracking in the contramure?
Oh wait, that's just me under pressure
Breaking down all of these walls
I think I'm headed for a fall
Unprepared for the next squall

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I need to get out while I still can
Tell the waitress that I need the check, I need to get out while I still can

I wonder where it was that I went wrong
Maybe it was my mum's over protection
Maybe that cause is just displacement
But you can't tell me that you've never done that before, too

Jealous of heroes on TV
Why can't that ever be me?
I know I didn't earn it, but c'mon, please

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I need to get out while I still can
Tell the waitress that I need the check, I need to get out while I still can
I've said it before and I'll say it again, I need to get out while I still can
I need to get out while I still can
I need to get out while I still can
I need to get out
Get out get out
Get out get out get
Out
