City Mouth Quit While I'm Ahead Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Should I just stop now
Quit while I'm ahead
If i'm not ahead should I slow down
Until I am
Or until I fall again

[Chorus]
I said I hate it but I think that I was lying
I think I want it
I think I want it all
I said I hate it but I think that I was lying
I think I want it, oh
I think I don't want to slow down

[Verse 2]
Should I just stop taking the medication to try to fix my coping machine
I don't want the clenched teeth and bad dreams
I want precious metals that run smoothly
I still don't feel like I'm deserving of (Oh no)
Anything but certainly not love (Oh no)
But I finally want to be unstuck

[Chorus]
I said I hate it but I think that I was lying
I think I want it, I think I want it all
I said I hate it but I think that I was lying
I think I want it, oh I think I don't want to slow down

[Bridge]
My pursuit of perfection is what holds me back
Everyone else is much too far ahead
My denial of affection is what keeps me here
Everyone else just functions so much better
My pursuit of perfection is what holds me back (what holds me back)
Everyone else is much too far ahead (so far, so far)
My denial of affection is what keeps me here (keeps me here)
Everyone else just functions so much better
So much better

[Chorus]
I said I hate it but I think that I was lying
I think I want it, I think I want it all
I said I hate it but I think that I was lying
I think I want it, oh
I think I don't want to slow down

[Outro]
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da, da, da, da, da, da
Da
