Jimmy Eat World

One chance to show your face
That's one shot, all you get
Pass by your one good thing
Lift your head back shoot and chase

Never hear you laugh like that, so full
Not since you were nine
Unsettled, severing always severing old ties
One last good-bye may last the rest of your life

Learn your restricted ropes
Paint a cross on your left hand
One good thing signed away and with it your only hope
Attention focused on today

So quiet slip behind my back
Unsettled, severing always severing dead ties
One last good-bye may last the rest of your life
One-way trip can work both ways

And loose ends kept untied make better friends
The things you buy may someday leave you
Can you say full ride? i can still see you around.
