"Getting Myself Into" lyrics

"Getting Myself Into"

What Could Go Wrong
Was the last song played on deck
She's there and she's gone
I'm already half-past wrecked

If I knew what I was getting myself into
I wouldn't have dared
If I knew what I was getting myself into
I wouldn't have fled

The love of your life
Or a trophy wife
Cinderella at midnight
All I got is a shoe

If I knew what I was getting myself into
I wouldn't have dared
If I knew what I was getting myself into
I wouldn't have fled

Thought I gave it up for Lent
Burning all my bridges down
Sailors dreamed of home
Husband's the open road
Some unwritten law
Keeps me burning all my bridges down
Mermaids on the rocks

If I knew what I was getting myself into
I wouldn't have dared
If I knew what I was getting myself into
I wouldn't have fled

Bury Jack
Bury Jack's magic beans
Magic beans
Pray for me
Pray for me
Bury Jack
Bury Jack's magic beans
Magic beans
Pray for me
Pray for me

Pray for me
(Pray for me)
Pray for me
(Pray for me)

Blackhole swallows a neutron star
Back at the bar it's half-past midlife
Blue shift giving birth to a star
I'm half gas supernova

If I knew what I was getting myself into
I wouldn't have dared
If I knew what I was getting myself into
I wouldn't have fled

If I knew what I was getting myself into
I wouldn't have dared
If I knew what I was getting myself into
I wouldn't have fled

I wouldn't have
