If I was a little bit better at a few more things You might hang around on this ship that's sinking so fast It's just a matter of time If there was some way you know that this horse was dead Instead I keep dragging and slowing myself up instead It's just a matter of time
Chorus: If I was smarter, if I knew how to dance If I was taller, I might stand a chance But since I'm none of these things, you're not hanging around And I know I'm the reason that you're leaving this town
It might sound funny but it ain't no lie: It's harder to live, than it is just to die So you know, that's how it goes If you think that you gotta figure it all out And in your mind there's not a slightest shred of a town That's how it goes
And you can move it out of town If that's really how you feel about it And I can act like I really care Like i can't live without it
We both know that I can It was all just part of my big master plan
Chorus: If I was smarter, if I knew how to dance If I was taller, I might stand a chance But since I'm none of these things, you're not hanging around And I know I'm the reason that you're leaving this town
You can go, go away Don't try to come again some other day I feel much better, now that I've found That my world won't end, just cause you're leaving this town!
