Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Outta my way
Outta my day
Out of your mind and into mine
[Verse 2]
Into no one
Into not one
Into your step but out of time
[Verse 3]
Headstrong
What's wrong?
I've already heard this song before
You arrived, but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
[Verse 4]
Dragging me down
Why you around?
So useless
[Verse 5]
It ain't my fall
It ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
It ain't my bitch
[Verse 6]
Down on the sun
Down and no fun
Down and out, where the hell you been?
[Verse 7]
Damn it all down
Damn it unbound
Damn it all down to hell again
[Verse 8]
Stand tall
Can't fall
Never even bend at all before
You arrived, but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
[Verse 9]
Dragging me down
Why you around?
So useless
[Verse 10]
It ain't my fall
It ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
[Verse 11]
Outta my way
[Verse 12]
Outta my way
Outta my day
Out of your mind and into mine
[Verse 13]
Into no one
Into not one
Into your step but out of time
[Verse 14]
Headstrong
What's wrong?
I've already heard this song before
You arrived, but now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
And now it's time to kiss your ass goodbye
[Verse 15]
Dragging me down
While you around?
So useless
[Verse 16]
It ain't my fall
It ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
[Verse 17]
No way but down
Why you're around
No fooling
[Verse 18]
It ain't my smile
It ain't my style
It ain't my bitch
Oh, it ain't mine
[Verse 19]
Ain't mine
Your kind
You're stepping out of time
[Verse 20]
Ain't mine
Your kind
You're stepping out of time
[Verse 21]
Taking me down
Why you around
No fooling
[Verse 22]
It ain't my fall
It ain't my call
It ain't my bitch
You ain't mine
