"Victory Lap" lyrics
Spent the summer like a tempest, big hot mess
Thinkin' to myself, "Damn, bet you live like this"
Then avoiding every call, peeling paper off the wall
Crumbs in my bed
I put the manic-panic down and I changed my sheets
Took the hombre couple vow to be more mean
I paid off all the cards, I ditched my broken heart
Now only one of us is lonely
I don't mean to brag, but you know you've blew it
Best you ever had, well, yeah, the shoe fits
I knew it had to happen
I'd see you after the aftermath and
I never thought that you'd look so tragic
I guess the big man falls the fastest
And I wish I could wish you well
I'd lie to you but never myself
Feelin' bad that I don't feel bad
But you're runnin' in place (runnin' in place)
So I'll have to take a victory lap
I'm takin' a
I'm takin' a, takin' a
I'm takin' a
I'm takin' a, takin' a
I've been talkin' lots of shit about you to my friends
No longer have your honor that I gotta defend
Every stupid thing you'd say every time I had to fake
They never liked you anyway
I don't mean to brag, but you know you've blew it
Best you ever had, well, yeah, the shoe fits
I knew it had to happen
I'd see you after the aftermath and
I never thought that you'd look so tragic
I guess the big man falls the fastest
And I wish I could wish you well
I'd lie to you but never myself
Feelin' bad that I don't feel bad
But you're runnin' in place (runnin' in place)
So I'll have to take a victory lap
I'm takin' a
I'm takin' a, takin' a
I'm takin' a
I'm takin' a, takin' a
I've been fallin' on my own sword
I've been playin' hard to win
I've been actin' like you'll see me
Heartbreak's a panopticon
And I know it's hyperbole
To claim that you're in misery
But it helps to imagine
That you're sad and doin' worse than me
I knew it had to happen
I'd see you after the aftermath and
I never thought that you'd look so tragic
I guess the big man falls the fastest
And I wish I could wish you well (I'm takin' a)
I'd lie to you but never myself (I'm takin' a, takin' a)
Feelin' bad that I don't feelin' bad
That you're runnin' in place (runnin' in, runnin' in)
So I'll have to take (I'm takin' a, takin' a)
Victory lap
Thinkin' to myself, "Damn, bet you live like this"
Then avoiding every call, peeling paper off the wall
Crumbs in my bed
I put the manic-panic down and I changed my sheets
Took the hombre couple vow to be more mean
I paid off all the cards, I ditched my broken heart
Now only one of us is lonely
I don't mean to brag, but you know you've blew it
Best you ever had, well, yeah, the shoe fits
I knew it had to happen
I'd see you after the aftermath and
I never thought that you'd look so tragic
I guess the big man falls the fastest
And I wish I could wish you well
I'd lie to you but never myself
Feelin' bad that I don't feel bad
But you're runnin' in place (runnin' in place)
So I'll have to take a victory lap
I'm takin' a
I'm takin' a, takin' a
I'm takin' a
I'm takin' a, takin' a
I've been talkin' lots of shit about you to my friends
No longer have your honor that I gotta defend

Victory lap
