Lyrics

The New Rules

[Intro](x8) (Please hang up and try again) [Verse 1] I used to want to burn the world But now I just get by Shoot an arrow to the sun Or as far as it can go, it's alright [Chorus] I'm learning to be laid back About things I'm learning to be laid back About certain things About certain things [Verse 2] I used to want to burn the world But now I just get by Shoot an arrow to the sun Or as far as it will go, it's alright [Verse 3] There's nothing to prove anymore Nothing to lose I burned away all my desire The hunger's gone but it's, it's alright [Chorus] [Post-Chorus] Certain things About certain things Certain things
