[Prelude]
(Are you recording? I was just thinking...but we're recording now, so I'll tell you later.)
[Chorus 1]
Have my back
I'm headed down a track
And don't know how long I can stand - I can't stand it
Tell me now
Was it worth the row?
Cuz I don't know how long I can stand - I can't stand it
[Verse 1]
I'm made of pieces individually collected, cornered
Made a mockery of me, I told 'em watch me when I'm comin' up
I'm reachin' higher than a Daedalian glider
Best believe I'm riskin' wax to take a chance to find my moment in the sun, the sun, the sun
The sun, the sun, the sun
[Chorus 2]
Check me out
I'm stavin' off my doubts
And I don't know how long I can stand - I can't stand it
Turn my way
I'm fighting back today
And I don't know how long I can stand - I can't stand it
[Verse 2]
I'm showin' up to practice late; I'll grab a bat and guard a plate
I'm stayin' after for the draft, so watch me when I'm comin' up
I'm aimin' higher than a federation flier
Honest innit? Jesus willin', I'll be prayin' like a villain 'til I'm done
I'm done, I'm done - NOT
[Verse 3]
My best impression of a sentimental lesson
Was a girl who made a date to save the planet
But the planet stood her up
She took a bullet to the pitter of her patter
Dropped her younger self a ladder
Said remind me to be kinder when I've won, I've won, I've won
I'm done, I've won, I'm done
[Chorus 3]
Take your time
I know I crossed a line
And I don't know how long I can stand, I can't stand it
Play it back
I've headed down the track
And I don't know how long I can stand - I can't stand it now
It now, it now
No, I can't stand it now
No, I can't stand it
