Right now's the problem 'Cause I'm shooting blanks again Something comes to twist me And I'm getting weak again Still disappointed I'm choking on the past This is just a wash-out I'm waiting to be last Can I just pretend? Can I just pretend? I'll hack the sides away I went ahead and hacked the sides away Without respect to age Coughing it up for the man (4x) My time is shining And I'm clocking up again Attempts to be impressive Left me clocking up again Can I just pretend? Can I just pretend? I chop the sides away I went ahead and chopped the sides away This is how you fade Coughing it up to the man (2x) Coughing it up for the man (3x) I can't sustain it I feel like dancing This time is changing
