Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Some say if you don't go, then you won't know how to let go

When you gotta let it swerve

Some say if you don't try, then you won't know how to get by

No one said it wouldn't hurt

Oh, no

[Verse 2]

If I knew then

What I should've known now

[Verse 3]

Up and down, jump off the deep end

Wreck this house

I should've left with you

With you

No way out

I met your best friend

She went down

I should've made my move

With you

[Verse 4]

I shoulda

I woulda

I coulda

But I didn't

Hit it

[Verse 5]

Some say if you break down and you touch ground

Then you dropped out, still you got a lot to learn

But I say pick it back up, throw it on now

Make it stack up

'Cause tonight we're gonna burn

It down

[Verse 6]

If I knew then

What I should've known all along

[Verse 7]

Up and down, jump off the deep end

Wreck this house

I should've left with you

With you

No way out

I met your best friend

She went down

I should've made my move

With you

[Verse 8]

Messed up now

Pissed off the in-crowd

Break this town

My eyes are set on you

On you

We know now

I'm not your best friend

Broke all bounds

I'll make it up to you

To you

[Verse 9]

I shoulda

I woulda

I coulda

But I didn't

Hit it

[Verse 10]

I'm feelin' lucky

Lay all my cards down

Nothin' can stop me

Tonight, we go all out

I'm feelin' lucky

I'll bet my hometown

Nothin' can stop us now

[Verse 11]

Well, I say if you don't know, then you go slow

Or you don't go, don't be a no-show

Just let go, let's get stoned

From the top down to the down low

Down low, let's go

[Verse 12]

I say if you don't know, then you go slow

Or you don't go, don't be a no-show

Just let go, let's get stoned

From the top down to the down low

Down low let's go

[Verse 13]

You, you

Ah

You, you

[Verse 14]

Up and down, jump off the deep end

Wreck this house

I should've left with you

With you

No way out

I met your best friend

She went down

I should've made my move

With you

[Verse 15]

I messed up now

Pissed off the in-crowd

Popped this town

My eyes are set on you

On you

We know now

I'm not your best friend

Broke all bounds

I'll make it up to you

To you

[Verse 16]

I shoulda

I woulda

I coulda

But I didn't

Hit it
