Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I lost myself during my ride into the city on the bus
I caught my eyes locked in that comfortable position of falling in love
If I could, I would drink my troubles down the drain
But I don't wanna drink alone today
[Verse 2]
I'll drop the act of adolescence and I'll play a new part
I'll try to find where my voice went and I'll stop breaking my own heart
I'll laugh along, I'll sing the songs you wanna hear
Let me in, oh, let me near
[Chorus]
Honestly, it's a shit show, my god
But it's this show, I want to be there, whoa
Honestly, it's a shit show, my god
But it's this show, I want to be there, oh
[Verse 3]
I found myself faking a smile and making time to shake a hand for a living
I dropped my mind somewhere on the one line and didn't realize till I cried on Thanksgiving
The seasons change, the reasons always stay the same
I still have so many songs to name
[Chorus]
Honestly, it's a shit show, my god
But it's this show, I want to be there, whoa
Honestly, it's a shit show, my god
But it's this show, I want to be there
[Bridge]
Maybe it's a memory
Or I read it in a magazine
But I swear I'd see your faces staring up at me
Or maybe this song is self-aware
And I'm singing here, and you're standing there
Waiting for the show to go on
[Chorus]
Honestly, it's a shit show, my god
But it's this show, I want to be there, whoa
Honestly, it's a shit show, my god
But it's this show, I want to be there
[Chorus]
Honestly, it's a shit show, my god
But it's this show, I want to be there, whoa
Honestly, it's a shit show, my god
But it's this show, I want to be there
