Am I more than you bargained for yet?

I've been dyin' to tell you

Anything you wanna hear

'Cause that's just who I am this week

Lie in the grass next to the mausoleum

I'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song (Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

[Pre-Chorus]

Drop a heart and break a name

We're always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team

[Chorus]

We're goin' down, down in an earlier round

And sugar, we're going down swingin'

I'll be your number one with a bullet

A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

We're goin' down, down in an earlier round

And sugar, we're going down swingin'

I'll be your number one with a bullet

A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

[Verse 2]

Is this more than you bargained for yet?

Oh, don't mind me, I'm watching you two from the closet

Wishing to be the friction in your jeans

Isn't it messed up how I'm just dyin' to be him?

I'm just a notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song

(Notch in your bedpost, but you're just a line in a song)

[Pre-Chorus]

Drop a heart and break a name

We're always sleeping in and sleeping for the wrong team

[Chorus]

We're goin' down, down in an earlier round

And sugar, we're going down swingin'

I'll be your number one with a bullet

A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

We're goin' down, down in an earlier round

And sugar, we're going down swingin'

I'll be your number one with a bullet

A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

[Post-Chorus]

Down, down in an earlier round

And sugar, we're goin' down swingin'

I'll be your number one with a bullet

A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

We're goin' down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)

And sugar, we're going down swingin' (Take back what you said)

I'll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)

A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

[Bridge]

We're goin' down, down (Down, down)

Down, down (Down, down)

We're goin' down, down (Down, down)

A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it

[Chorus]

We're goin' down, down in an earlier round (Take aim at myself)

And sugar, we're going down swingin' (Take back what you said)

I'll be your number one with a bullet (Take aim at myself)

A loaded god complex, cock it and pull it
