What if we breakup before we start? Because we're playing the same old parts? You know the one's that we swore we'd never play again? The things you don't notice until after the end Because there's got to be an end, Yeah there's got to be an end! And pessimism is a defense mechanism In case we breakup before we start What if we worried all of the time? What if we worried the good from our times? Will we cry at all the parties where we don't kiss our crush? Will our friends leave early tired of hearing us fuss? I guess with time time we will never know But a good friend won't leave you on your own And if I think and think and think I'm scared of what I might find Don't want to worry all of the time, No What if the band breaks up before we start Because we're tired of playing the same old parts You know the ones that we swore we wouldn't practice again? The mistakes we won't notice until after the end Because theirs got to be and end I swear there's got to be an end And pessimism is a defense mechanism In case we breakup before we start
