American Scene Last Chopper Out Of Saigon Lyrics

Tell me what it was you think you missed the most,
Was it the city lights reflecting off the coast?
Or my self-destructive style?
You could hear me sing for miles and miles and miles,
About the hand that I was dealt being so unfair
Oh my god, just to think I'd be caught at square one once again,
And I know how that sounds
But I swear to God that I'll be coming back around again...

I think I'm almost fine for the first time in a long time.
I'm finding out why none of this made sense when I was on my back.
I started picking up the slack that I let float away over the past 365 days.

We were spending late nights on the phone,
After months without a single call back home.
And for a second I thought you were making me okay
But, then I took a step back and remembered all the wasted days.
Maybe everyone's right, maybe I spent too much time
Collapsing in on myself.
I think I'm done collapsing in on myself. I think I'm almost fine for the first time in a long time.
I'm finding out why none of this made sense when I was on my back.
I started picking up the slack that I let float away over the past 365 days.

I'll take a step out of my mind;
Draw open the blinds; let the world back in once again,
'Cause I spent a summer making promises I never planned to keep.
I spent the spring before in bed wanting nothing more than to stay asleep.
She said, "Just settle down a little, settle down kid...
Just settle down a little, settle down..."
Alright, I'll settle down a little, I'll turn my shit around...
Yeah, I'll settle down a little, and turn my shit around!

I think I'm almost fine for the first time in a long time.
I'm finding out why none of this made sense when I was on my back.
I started picking up the slack that I let float away over the past 365 days.
