Lyrics

[verse 1 ]
I talk fast and I double back
Convince myself I planned it that way
Every red flag looks beige at night
Every wrong turn feels like fate
I don't mean to start the fire
I just like the way it starts
By the time I feel the damage
I'm already in the car

[chorus]
Running on a moment, not a master plan
Every smart move slips right through my hands
They all talk about a bigger picture view
I just zoom in, then I change it to
Hot and cold like a flickering light
Mean it now, then I don't by tonight
If it breaks when it lands -- that's my bad
yeah, that is my bad

[verse 2]
I change lanes without a signal
Call it instinct, call it style
Every warning sounds theoretical
If it takes more than a while
I get tired of my own ideas
Trade them in like last year's shoes
If it works out, I take credit
If it doesn't -- well... you know

[chorus]
Running on a moment, not a master plan
Every smart move slips right through my hands
They all talk about the bigger picture view
I just zoom in, then I change it to
Hot and cold like a flickering light
Mean it now, then I don't by tonight
If it breaks when it lands -- that's my bad
yeah, that is my bad

[verse 3]
I get bored of the things I choose
Then I blame it on the afternoon
Every promise comes with edits
Every rule has substitutions
I press send, then I rethink
Say yes, then I start to blink
If there's a line, I lean across it
Just to see how far it bends,
that's my bad, yeah that is my bad
my bad so bad
