Played follow the leader
Keeping my steps in time
Counting on the wonder ahead,
I leave the pain behind

It's on me,
it's all mine,
go away,
they're my mistakes,
they're not your problem

Pinned down in this heaven
I'll die 1000 times
Aware of the damage ahead,
I'll leave the pain behind

(Intro)

Another day, a perfect day
a twinge of pain,
the string of a needle

So warm at the bottom
Warm never felt so kind
And for a moment or two,
I leave it all behind

(Chorus)

Black dog, white picket fences,
mow them down and dance on the riptide
Face down in consequences
crack me up and stay on your own side

I wish I may I mish I might
I pray my soul to keep tonight
Cause all the walls are staring back?
A perfect day a string for the last time
