I had the whole world in my hands 
but I gave it away
I had the whole world in my hands
but I gave it away, gave it away

I'm a half-wit boy
Cracking a smile and wearing it all on my sleeve
So cool and so poised
It's [bad word] I'm just around to see
Where this thing goes I'll never know
But all I know is packing bags is a remedy, is a remedy

This time I'll be nervous 
Cause I can't see your hands
In front of me, in front of me tonight
Let's forget all the pretense of what
They thought we should be
What liars we can be

I'm on my way to the top of the world
And I've got a feeling I'll give it away
I'm on my way to the top of the world
And I've got a feeling I'll give it away

She's a maverick, she's so smooth
If things go according to plan
I'll have her finished by five a.m.
There's no changing plans
There's no second chance
I've already got both feet through the door
And I can taste the air
And I can taste the air

This time I'll be nervous 
Cause I can't see your hands
In front of me, in front of me tonight
Let's forget all the pretense of what
They thought we should be
What liars we can be

Make a sound, it's safe for you
To choke in here alone

Whatever I say goes
Whatever I say goes
Whatever I say goes
Whatever I say goes

You're not here with me
You're not here with me
You're not here with me
You're not here with me
You're not here with me
You're not here with me
You're not here with me
You're not here with me
