If I tried, I could You could still be great if you don’t quit for good I’d say I’m dismayed A few months later, Katie died She was 21, I was mortified Such spunk Just couldn’t beat the junk And as I’m stuffing my face in the car again Texting and driving and calling a friend All I think Is, ‘Wehad the same wink’ Well, that’s who I’m gonna be That’s who I’m gonna be That’s who I’ll be If I don’t change my ways I’m kinda gonna have to Well, that’s who I’m gonna be That’s who I’m gonna be That’s who I’ll be If I don’t change my ways And keep looking back to you That’s who I’m gonna be That’s who I’m gonna be That’s who I’ll be If I don’t change my ways I’m kinda gonna have to ‘Cause that’s who I’m gonna be That’s who I’m gonna be That’s who I’ll be If I don’t change my ways And keep looking back to you ------- So I took this trip to Montreal Taught me should I dive, no cannonball No form at all

They’d form a single-file line Carry on with some last goodbyes All dressed in black, they’d cry Cry cry cry You can’t hurt no more inside When your inside’s formaldehyde Hope mom won’t sigh cause she tried Tried tried tried tried But I’m still Alive Parked my car on Prospect St But this wasn’t the scene that it was last week No begging and pleading. No flowers, no crying Really nothing much, just me and my piece Wrote and posted my note Dotted my I’s and I crossed all the T’s It’s kinda nice in these last few minutes Before one of her neighbors gotta call the police No more trips to the hospital Parents got me doing these overnights Honeymoon suite prices for a cot The fuckin’ chicken tenders sucked and so did the fries No more Hallmark speeches from my friends saying “Keep your chin up for happier days” A month and a half of toying with the thought But pretty soon it’ll be all okay I lifted the glock to my temple and This woman came jogging by She was almost the last one that ever saw me while I I was still alive So I’d loaded the bullets Now just had to pull it and wave goodbye Finger on the trigger, I stopped And, honestly, I don’t know why ‘Cause what’s left to live for when You let the right love go to waste And the rest of your life’s just a fruitless Endless, hopeless chase to replace Well it’s two years later So I guess I got through the worst Still almost jumped off a parking garage on the 4th of July Shot my laundry and ruined like half of my shirts You don’t know what you got til she’s in Austin Alone and you ain’t going to Greece Half your friends are engaged now But you’re still third-wheeling at the beach The other day I spilled my guts again to like The hundredth friend But for the first time I actually heard him When he said He was glad that I’m still Alive And I don’t see no God, just sky That stance ain’t been revised To say I’ve redeemed my mistake is a lie Corona’s kinda killing the vibe We’re all unemployed and terrified But it’s cool, I’m enjoying the ride ‘Cause I’m Still Here to say ‘thanks’ and ‘I love you’ to the ones that Threw me a rope when I was willing to drown Who were right all along when said there’s still plenty Here to make it worth even sticking around I fucked up a big one That life of a dream is dead And all that’s left here anyway is Fuckin’ anything instead I get high, I get low, I got places to go I got some striking out to do I live it, I lose it, I learn, and I love And there’s always a chance that you can start anew This ain’t just the first time in two years That I’ve felt the chills It’s the joy of a life to finally feel that I’m still Still still I’m still alive Ooh ooh ooh ooh, alive Ooh ooh ooh ooh, alive Ooh ooh ooh ooh, alive (ad nauseum)
