Do you think when I'm fifty two / I'll still wake up from dreams of you / Or could I get it over with / Before middle age, you'll be ancient myth / What a sweet quarterlife crisis / Nice and neat, no one will mind it / Heart skips a beat, you've gotta try this / Let me be your quarterlife crisis / We'll burn quick but the half-life's long / Traces stick after we are gone / Where we'll go we can't tell at all / Might as well take this time to fall / For a sweet quarterlife crisis / Nice and neat, no one will mind it / Heart skips a beat, you've gotta try this / Let me be your quarterlife crisis / It's not like I'm gonna buy a car / The worst you can do is break my heart / And shatter my self-worth on the way / Seems like a decent price to pay / For a sweet quarterlife crisis / It's incomplete, no one defined it / Heart skips a beat, you've gotta try this / Let me be your quarterlife crisis

bad loser

You've always been a bad loser / You're always changing the game / You're both beggar and chooser / You try to say I'm the same / I wish I was a bad loser / At least I would know when I was losing to you / But I've always been a late bruiser / Forgot how they got there by the time they turn blue / You've always been a good actor / Plenty of good faith to give / She is a master distractor / Bailing out ships with a sieve / And while I'm taking on water / She's making muffins in tins / And keeping the truth from her daughter / That in the end no one wins / I wish I was a bad loser / At least I would know when I was losing to you / But I've always been a late bruiser / Forgot how they got there by the time they turn blue / You've always been a bad loser / You're always changing the game / Throwing the match to confuse her / She can't see it's aflame / I wish I was a bad loser / At least I would know when I was losing to you / But I've always been a late bruiser / I know someone got me, I just can't recall who / I wish I was a bad loser / At least I would know what it was like to be you / But I've always been a late bruiser / Forgot how they got there by the time they turn blue

This is the act of god you put in your contract / I swear it's not the one that I prayed for / This is the act of god that finally makes contact / Not the one I fantasized you might perform / If I still can't tell you how I feel / Then what was god for / If I still can't tell you how I feel / I guess that's what god's for / This is the act of man that makes me surrender / I was freezing up just waiting for the winds / This is the prayer, the sign, so holy and tender / Only difference is you can't predict my sins / If I still can't tell you how I feel / Then what was god for? / If I still can't tell you how I feel / I guess that's what god's for / I guess god wants me to keep wanting / God wants me to keep wanting / God must want me to keep wanting you . If I still can't tell you how I feel / If I still can't tell you how I feel / If I still can't tell you how I feel / Then what was god for / Then what was god for
