Blood and Guts Lyrics

Sometimes I wish I were more mysterious
Hair in my face and short conversation
I got a friend who speaks, but doesn't talk
And I can play the part alright but I didn't make it up
I'm ready to lose my mind when it suits me
And if you found the foolproof way
Just slide it under the table
Just sneak it in to my pocket

'Cause I wanna sing with blood and guts
And I want them to sing with me too
I wanna sing with blood and guts
Instead I'm singing to you

Sometimes I wish that I cared you were leaving
I guess if I did, then you probably wouldn't
You said you got a problem, with me acting tough
I don't know where you get this stuff

I heard you're frequenting
With older guys from private schools
The ones that I openly thought
Would be bad for you

If you're breaking my heart
You won't get no help from me
But I kinda wish it would work
I think a broken heart is what I need
If I'm gonna sing with blood and guts
Then try to help me on my way
I wanna sing with blood and guts
Instead I push them away

You were so pretty with your hands on my throat
Well, how you stopped crying when I asked for my coat
I don't miss the parts I forgot
I see nothing is here and nothing is not

I just wanna get my Fischer sun-glass
I just wanna get your arm in a cast
I just want you to know
That I care
And I'm gonna sing with blood and guts
But I'm always doing it wrong
I wanna sing with blood and guts
Instead I'm singing along

The older we get, the older we are
I woke up this morning driving my car
And that is not how it's supposed to be
Am I killing time or is it killing me?

And I wanna sing with blood and guts
So someone will know that I'm here
I wanna sing with blood and guts

I wanna sing with blood and guts
I want them to sing with me too
I'm gonna sing with blood and guts
Instead I'm singing to you

Instead I'm singing to you
Instead I'm singing to you
