rock + roll

So tell me this is who you are

They tell me I've got something more

And oh, you could be loved

But I don't want the lights to find me

When I'm dark and lost but never on my own

'Cause I just wanna swing like Sinatra

Singing like I can't stop

'Cause I can never rock like a Rolling Stone

I just wanna live like the ones before, yeah

And maybe I could play guitar like Hendrix

Or save the world or end it

And then maybe they'll remember me when I'm gone

That's all I could ever want

That's all I want

So I got ten minutes to be all or nothing to

Whoever wants to hear

And I got ten weeks of talking bullshit on repeat

Till I'm burnt out and disappear

But I owe you nothing

And I own my luck

So you'll say you'll never be alone again

But I don't think you understand me or what I fear

But you could be loved

But I don't wanna lie to tell myself

I'm more than all the mistakes I've outrun

'Cause I'm only here for a minute

And I don't care what you say

'Cause I know you're only here 'cause I'm winning

But I can be my own kind of rock + roll

I, I don't really care if you say you don't fuck with me

And I can say what the fuck I want 'cause it's down to me and

I got love for you even if you were doubting me

Like, oh my God, I just can't stop

'Cause I just wanna sing like Sinatra

With ethanol, my soundtrack

'Cause I can never rock like a Rolling Stone

I wonder how it feels to burn out young, hey

'Cause I just wanna die before my heart fails

From heartbreak or cocktails and

Then maybe you'll cry once you know I'm gone

That's all I could ever want

Oh, that's all I want, yeah

'Cause I ain't scared of livin'

(Does it get easier?)

(No)

No, I ain't scared of livin'

(Yes, it gets easier)

(Oh, yeah?)

No, I ain't scared of livin' (Look at you)

'Cause it's all we got

What are we breathin' for if we ain't livin?

And I don't want your love

I just wanna feel like I'm still livin'

And if there is no God

I know the day I die, I've lived through heaven

And that I gave it hell

And if it hurt, oh, well

At least that's livin'

(The more you know who you are and what you want) It's all I want

(The less you let things upset you) It's all I want

I just don't know who I'm supposed to be, you know?

I tried being a writer but

I hate what I write

I tried taking pictures

But they're so mediocre, you know?

And every girl goes through a photography phase

You know, like horses

You know, take, uh, dumb pictures of your feet

You'll figure that out

I'm not worried about you
