checkers by Jacob Daley Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Black and white the tile floors
Wishing I was all yours
Don't wanna crash so my ass ain't driving
I call a cab but my voice too quiet
Parachute for pilot this
Tiptoe keeps me silent and
I watch my house burn down right in front of me
And I gave my all, I say
I gave my all, I say
You could be the number one big shot
Or alone at the ball, I say
So why try at all? I say
Why try at all? I say
I'd relive my past before I go up and ask
[Chorus]
Like can I have this dance
Take a chance on a summer night
She say she can't then
I'm down for another time
Can't turn down like me
Can't turn down like me
Bet you can't, bet you can't
Can't turn down like me
Can't turn down like me
Bet you can't, bet you can't
[Verse 2]
I could never shoot like Apollo
People say their youth's in a bottle
I yell, I scream, I'm on my knees, I beg
It never seems to make it out my head
I never seem to make it out my bed
Chances of a shooting star this evening
Seem low every time I'm leaving
10:30 I'm the only one sleeping
I don't wanna be the last one searching
I don't wanna make it seem too urgent
Y'all don't ever wanna find solutions
Just complain that your life ain't perfect
Just complain how your ass feel worthless
I don't wanna be that one sad person
I break a sweat as I finally ask
(Li—li—li—li—)
[Chorus]
Like can I have this dance
Take a chance on a summer night
She say she can't then
I'm down for another time
Can't turn down like me
Can't turn down like me
Bet you can't, bet you can't
Can't turn down like me
Can't turn down like me
Bet you can't, bet you can't
I have this dance
Take a chance on a summer night
She say she can't then
I'm down for another time
Can't turn down like me
Can't turn down like me
Bet you can't, bet you can't
Can't turn down like me
Can't turn down like me
Bet you can't, bet you can't
[Bridge]
2-D, how I see the world
As everything consumes me
I see your eyes and they just stare right through me
I stand alone and I still wonder why
I'm talking 2-D, how I see the world
As everything consumes me
I see your eyes and they just stare right through me
I stand alone and I still wonder why
(Li—li—li—li—)
[Chorus]
Like can I have this dance
Take a chance on a summer night
She say she can't then
I'm down for another time
Can't turn down like me
Can't turn down like me
Bet you can't, bet you can't
Can't turn down like me
Can't turn down like me
Bet you can't, bet you can't
I have this dance
Take a chance on a summer night
She say she can't then
I'm down for another time
Can't turn down like me
Can't turn down like me
Bet you can't, bet you can't
Can't turn down like me
Can't turn down like me
Bet you can't, bet you can't
Black and white the tile floors
Wishing I was all yours
Don't wanna crash so my ass ain't driving
I call a cab but my voice too quiet
Parachute for pilot this
Tiptoe keeps me silent and
I watch my house burn down right in front of me
And I gave my all, I say
I gave my all, I say

So why try at all? I say
Why try at all? I say
I'd relive my past before I go up and ask
[Chorus]

She say she can't then
I'm down for another time
Can't turn down like me
Can't turn down like me
Bet you can't, bet you can't
Can't turn down like me
Can't turn down like me
Bet you can't, bet you can't
