Lyrics

Save Yourself

I want every town
I need you to know
There's nothing left to sell me
I'm broke

I just want these holes
For when I try to run
For no reason
Or so I'm told

Don't you think I know
You're only trying to save yourself
Don't you think I know
You're only trying to save yourself

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ancient in one long
Incidental month
You had a bad day
I want home

You still make me smile
As much as I am reeling
It has been a while
Please don't make me show
I'm not your gal

Don't you think I know
You're only trying to save yourself
Don't you think I know
You're only trying to save yourself
Just like everyone else

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Try and make me feel
Like I'm your number one
Every other one
Well shit, get real

Know you're balding still
You're older than you feel
Think a little harder
A little modest and humble be
I won't wait around

Don't you think I know
You're only trying to save yourself
Don't you think I know
You're only trying to save yourself

Just like everyone else
You're just like everyone else
You're just like everyone else
You're just like everyone else
