歌词
Licking my lips I lean
in for thee first kiss
He says I am mistaken
Leaves me eyes closed, mouth open
Big people fly in
To see me rise to the occasion
I know this is it
But occasions make me sink like a stone
They fly home
Opening the paper
I see my big idea
punctured like a balloon deflating
for the whole country to see
Blood pumping through my veins
As I fall
Here's to the feeling of failure
Ah, the rush when you made a fool or yourself
Ah, the liberating fresh scent of failure
You are finally free from yourself
Reading your letter
It made me remember
When I was a teenager
I had a band that no one knew of
If I express my love for no one
I won't be rejected
If I play my songs to no one
They won't be made fun of
If I point out my own flaws
Put them on a shirt
Here's to the feeling of failure
Ah, the rush when you tried and you fell h盲rmas
Ah, liberating fresh scent of failure
It's a big **** off sign to yourself
Free falling
Free falling into thin air
Who will be left when I come down
What parts will be there
Free falling
Free falling into thin air
if it fit didn't please them
I must have done it to please me
it must mean
I am finally free
In this song alone I worry:
Am I too straight,
am I saying things that belong to refrigerator magnets
but
Oh no! I am liberated now
I will do no such thing
as to hide what I'm saying
Hear the strings play it
Here's to the feeling of failure
Ah, the rush when you made a fool or yourself
The liberating fresh scent of failure
It's a big **** off sign to yourself
