lyrics

Fold me up, I’m gettin wrinkled and a blown around
Like a paper cup, drip stains from the rim on down
Cause I don’t wanna be a go getter
I’m just tryin to get out of this alive

Old enough, nobody blinks when you get it right
Fingers rough, been grabbin roots just to slow my slide
Cause I don’t wanna be a go getter
I’m just tryin to get out of this alive

The feeling of calmin down
The feeling of calmin down
The feeling of calmin down
The feeling

Scream and shout into the mirror bout your heavy load then
Face the crowd, and stutter somethin from a script you wrote
You don’t have to be a go getter
Do whatcha gotta do to get you out alive

Burnin out, but I can fight so long as I can stand this
Aimless doubt that brings the ground up to meet these hands
I always thought I was a go getter
Now I’m just dyin to get out of this alive
