[Verse 1] If you're reading this, I'm likely dead Congrats, congrats, words through my paper head I get your back, blood on the kitchen floor Matter of fact, white knuckles on my door The thunder and lightning [Pre-Chorus 1] On the bright side, you did your best The story of your life will be your d**h I'm on the outside, just looking in What does it look like? start it again [Chorus 1] All jokes aside, I'll start over again With the meaning of life, well, the meaning's irrelevant So put all jokes aside, you can't have your command [Bridge] Hollywood, hide in your covers in space Are you fine or are you floating away? [Verse 2] So if you're reading this do what it says Swallow it back, everything that you read The skull is cracked, blood on the kitchen floor Matter of fact, white knuckles on my door [Pre-Chorus 2] I'm on the outside, just looking in What does it look like? start it again Pick up the glistening, the telephone Nobody listening, nobody home The permanent sigh, your pretty skin Hey, I'm on your side, I've always been Just on the outside, just looking in (x2) [Chorus 2] All jokes aside, I'll start over again With a permanent sigh till the meaning's impermanent All jokes aside, you can't have your command With a permanent sigh till the sighs are irrelevant All jokes aside, I'll start over again With the meaning of life, are the words so irrelevant? All jokes aside, all jokes aside (x2) [Outro] All jokes aside, I'll start over again With the meaning of life till the words are irrelevant All jokes aside, I'll start over again With a permanent sigh till the meaning's impermanent All jokes aside, you can't have your command With a permanent sigh till the sighs are irrelevant
