lyrics

VS1
I got high smokin’ all my pain
So i lit a cigarette of shame
I tripped on the top of the world
Skinned my knees fallin’ on swords

VS1b
Saw what i made and it was good
Then destroyed it with some coulda shoulds
I tripped on the top of the world
Threw all my pigs to the pearls

PRE
Look, but turn away
Listen to what I don’t say

CH1
Feelin’ bad but lookin’ good
Lookin’ sad just like I should
I just wanna be deep enough to be misunderstood
Feelin’ bad but lookin’ good
Lookin’ sad just like I should
Someday I’ll be deep enough to be misunderstood

VS2
I walked into a bank of fog
Withdrew some prayers I gave to god
I tripped on the top of the world
So I put rims on my 97 Accord

PRE2
Come here but go away
Lotta words nothin’ to say

CH2
Feelin’ bad but lookin’ good
Lookin’ sad just like I should
I just wanna be deep enough to be misunderstood
Feelin’ bad but lookin’ good
Lookin’ sad just like I should
Someday I’ll be deep enough to be misunderstood
BR
Misunderstood

VS3
I just bought a lot of books
I don’t read but I like the way it looks

CH3
Feelin’ bad but lookin’ good
Lookin’ sad just like I should
I just wanna be deep enough to be misunderstood
Feelin’ bad but lookin’ good
Lookin’ sad just like I should
Someday I’ll be deep enough to be misunderstood
