Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I woke the same as any other day Except a voice was in my head It said, "Seize the day, pull the trigger Drop the blade and watch the rolling heads" [Pre-Chorus] The day I tried to live I stole a thousand beggars' change And gave it to the rich, yeah The day I tried to win I dangled from the power lines And let the martyrs stretch, yeah [Chorus] Singing, one more time around (Might do it) One more time around (Might make it) One more time around (Might do it) One more time around (I might make it) The day I tried to live, yeah [Verse 2] The words you say Never seem to live up to the ones inside your head The lives we make Never seem to ever get us anywhere but dead [Pre-Chorus] The day I tried to live I wallowed in the blood and mud With all the other pigs, yeah [Chorus] Singing, one more time around (Might do it) One more time around (Might make it) One more time around (Might do it) One more time around (I might make it) The day I tried to live, yeah I tried [Verse 3] I woke the same as any other day You know, I should have stayed in bed, yeah The day I tried to win I wallowed in the blood and mud With all the other pigs [Bridge] And I learned that I was a liar (One more time around) I learned that I was a liar (One more time around) I learned that I was a liar (One more time around) I learned that I was a liar (One more time around) [Chorus] Singing, one more time around (Might do it) One more time around (Might make it) One more time around (Might do it) One more time around (I might make it) The day I tried to live, yeah [Outro] Just like you Just like you One more time around One more time around
