Last Chopper out of Saigon - The American Scene

Last Chopper out of Saigon - The American Scene
Tell me what it was you think you missed the most
Was it the city lights reflecting off the coast
Or my self destructive style
You could hear me sing for miles and miles and miles
About the hand that I was dealt being so unfair
Oh my god just to think
I'd be caught at square one once again
And I know how that sounds
But I swear to god that I'll be coming back around again
I think I'm almost fine for the first time in a long time
I'm finding out why none of this made sense
When I was on my back
I started picking up the slack
That I let float away over the past 365 days
We were spending late nights on the phone
After months without a single call back home
And for a second I thought you were making me okay
But then I took a step back
And remembered all the wasted days
Maybe everyone's right
Maybe I spent too much time
Collapsing in on myself
I think I'm done collapsing in on myself
I think I'm almost fine for the first time in a long time
I'm finding out why none of this made sense
When I was on my back
I started picking up the slack
That I let float away over the past 365 days
I'll take a step out of my mind
Draw open the blinds let the world back in once again
'Cause I spent a summer making promises
I never planned to keep
I spent the spring before in bed
Wanting nothing more than to stay asleep
She said just settle down a little settle down kid
Just settle down a little settle down
Alright I'll settle down a little I'll turn my sh*t around
Yeah I'll settle down a little and turn my sh*t around
I think I'm almost fine for the first time in a long time
I'm finding out why none of this made sense
When I was on my back
I started picking up the slack
That I let float away over the past 365 days
