"Down Bad" lyrics

"Down Bad"

Did you really beam me up?
In a cloud of sparkling dust
Just to do experiments on
Tell me I was the chosen one
Show me that this world is bigger than us
Then sent me back where I came from
For a moment, I knew cosmic love

Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym
Everything comes out teenage petulance
"Fuck it if I can't have him"
"I might just die, it would make no difference"
Down bad, waking up in blood
Staring at the sky, come back and pick me up
Fuck it if I can't have us
I might just not get up
I might stay down bad

Fuck it if I can't have him
Down bad
Fuck it if I can't have him

Did you take all my old clothes?
Just to leave me here naked and alone
In a field in my same old town
That somehow seems so hollow now
They'll say I'm nuts if I talk about the existence of you
For a moment, I was heaven struck

Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym (Crying at the gym)
Everything comes out teenage petulance
"Fuck it if I can't have him" (Fuck it if I can't have him)
"I might just die, it would make no difference"
Down bad, waking up in blood (Waking up in blood)
Staring at the sky, come back and pick me up
Fuck it if I can't have us
I might just not get up
I might stay down bad

Like I lost my twin
Fuck it if I can't have him (Down bad)
Down bad
Waving at the ship
Fuck it if I can't have him

I loved your hostile takeovers
Encounters closer and closer
All your indecent exposures
How dare you say that it's-
I'll build you a fort on some planet
Where they can all understand it
How dare you think it's romantic
Leaving me safe and stranded
'Cause fuck it, I was in love
So fuck you if I can't have us
'Cause fuck it, I was in love

Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym (Crying at the gym)
Everything comes out teenage petulance
"Fuck it if I can't have him" (Can't have him)
"I might just die, it would make no difference"
Down bad, waking up in blood (Waking up in blood)
Staring at the sky, come back and pick me up
Fuck it if I can't have us
I might just not get up
I might stay down bad

Like I lost my twin
Fuck it if I can't have him (Down bad)
Down bad
Waving at the ship
Fuck it if I can't have him

Like I lost my twin
Fuck it if I can't have him
Down bad
Waving at the ship
Fuck it if I can't have him
