i’m gonna lure them all away

or if i should find another one
i know i’m weighing down the team

but the kind that we don’t need
and the only way that’s forward
is the one where i leave

i’m gonna lure them all away
i’ll be the hero of the day
you brought me back for god knows what

i’m gonna lure them all away
i’ll be the hero of the day
you brought me back for god knows what
i still can’t figure out
if i’m meant for this story
or if i should find another one
i know i’m weighing down the team
and now there’s water to our knees
and i attract attention
