lyrics

stomach a-fluttering
heart sputtering
what did you mean when you sent that last text?
brain-chems a-pumping
I'm not loving
these highs and lows
they leave me with nothing
faster heart rate
tense up - eyes dilate
am I having a heart attack?
if I passed out now
I'd be okay with that
okay with that

what's wrong with me?
don't wanna be showing up stag forever
perfect hindsight
can't get it right
another fruitless endeavor
that awkward moment when people start asking
where my special someone is
I'm like, "I don't know, man
I missed the game plan
all I know is it will happen when it happens"

by myself I lie
me, myself and I
try to convince myself that I'm not a loser
think I don't need them
prefer my freedom
but science says that single guys die sooner
time slips away
that's what it feels like anyway
am I having a panic attack?
if I passed out now I'd be okay with that
okay with that

a wise person once told me
Andrew, you're heading straight for tragedy
you see, life's not about getting the girl, man
it'll leave you broken if you let it rule your world
and don't think for a second
that your life is the rules' exception
seek God
play to your strengths
work hard
stay humble
and you'll be in the right place
