If I was a little bit better at a few more things
You might hang around on this ship that's sinking so fast

It's just a matter of time
If there was some way you know that this horse was dead
Instead I keep dragging and slowing myself up instead

It's just a matter of time

If I was smarter, if I knew how to dance

If I was taller, I might stand a chance
But since I'm none of these things,
you're not hanging around

And I know I'm the reason
that you're leaving this town


It might sound funny but it ain't no lie:
It's harder to live, than it is just to die
So you know, that's how it goes

If you think that you gotta figure it all out
And in your mind there's not a slightest shred of a town
That's how it goes


And you can move it out of town
If that's really how you feel about it

And I can act like I really care
Like i can't live without it


We both know that I can
It was all just part of my big $#&@ing plan


If I was smarter, if I knew how to dance
If I was taller, I might stand a chance
But since I'm none of these things,

you're not hanging around
And I know I'm the reason
that you're leaving this town


You can go, go away
Don't try to come again some other day

I feel much better, now that I've found
That my world won't end, just cause you're leaving this town!
