Back Pedal by Take Cover Lyrics

[Chorus]
God only knows
Why all the things I love keep me up ‘til 3am
All the poison I put in my blood is messing with my head

[Verse 1]
4pm on the bathroom floor again
Is this where I live?
Am I losing it?
Well I should be paying rent
For all the times I crash in this apartment
Whose is it anyway?
And how did I end up here?

[Chorus]
God only knows
Why all the things I love keep me up ‘til 3am
All the poison I put in my blood is messing with my head
I wanna go to California
Get the fuck out before I lose all motivation
To do anything
Other than running in circles that don’t ever get me anywhere
[Verse 2]
I open my big mouth
I open my big mouth but I’m still here
In this town, they don’t take “no” for an answer
All my good friends tell me to relax
“Smile and take a seat, have another drink”
I should be paying rent with all the cash I spent
On booze and cigarettes
When I know better
How did I end up here?

[Pre-Chorus]
I guess I’m just a sucker for the flashing neon lights
They leave me bruised
I’m turning black and blue

[Chorus]
God only knows
Why all the things I love keep me up ‘til 3am
All the poison I put in my blood is messing with my head
I wanna go to California
Get the fuck out before I lose all motivation
To do anything
Other than running in circles that don’t ever get me anywhere

[Bridge]
I always talk talk talk
But I never back it up
Talk talk talk
But I never back it up
I’m tired of living my life face-down on the floor
[Chorus]
God only knows why all the things I love keep me up ‘til 3am
All the poison I put in my blood is messing with my head
I wanna go to California
Get the fuck out before I lose all motivation
To do anything
Other than running in circles that don’t ever get me anywhere

[Outro]
I wanna go to California
(California, California)
I wanna go to California
(California, California)
I opened my big mouth
I opened my big mouth
But I'm still here
