Cavalier

I've been up since three in the morning
and I'm wearing down
she's had me chasing my tail for days,
running around this goddamn town
trying so hard to pick up the pieces
find the creases
hang them out to dry
but now my fingers are split and bleeding
so while my callous peeling
you'll get to help me

fly about
I'm no cavalier without
over time I've seen a lot of things
I'm not that proud to talk about

[Chorus:]
call out my name
to save the day
believe me when I tell you I don't feel like I'm okay
not that I'd even want to
one step out of line is still one step in the right direction
so make the connection it's saved me too

I've been hearing some things over this past year
and it's making me fucking sick

I'm proud to say I'm better off that way
I'm looking forward towards tomorrow
while you're looking back upon today

It's not something to cry about
I'm so cavalier without
over time I've seen a lot of things
I'm not that proud to talk about

[Chorus]

I'm proud to say I'm better off that way
(sing it out just a little louder, sing it out til the walls begin to shake)
I'm looking forward towards tomorrow
while you're looking back upon today
(sing it out just a little louder, sing it out til your lungs begin to ache)
I'm proud to say I'm better off that way
(sing it out just a little louder)
