[Verse 1]
I had to think about my oldest friends
Now, I no longer hang with them
And I can't wait to be home again
I had a year that nearly sent me off the edge
I feel like a five, and I can't pretend
But if I get my shit together this year
Maybe I'll be a ten

[Pre-Chorus]
Help myself a little better
'Cause it's getting tirin'
And I can't wait for the summer
Now, I'm gonna need a moment

[Chorus]
I did it again, I did it again
No control over my emotions
One year on and I still can't focus
I did it again, yes, I did it, I did it again
Twelve rounds in, fightin' solo
So nobody wins when it ends

[Segue]
Huh?
Radio City, make some motherfucking noise

[Verse 1]
I had to think about my oldest friends
Now, I no longer hang with them
And I can't wait to be home again
I had a year that nearly sent me off the edge
I feel like a five, I can't pretend
But if I get my shit together this year
Maybe I'll be a ten

[Pre-Chorus]
Help myself a little better
'Cause it's getting tirin'
And I can't wait for the summer
Now, I'm gonna need a moment

[Chorus]
I did it again, I did it again
No control over my emotions
One year on and I still can't focus
I did it again, yes, I did it, I did it again
Twelve rounds in, fightin' solo
So nobody wins when it ends

[Verse 2]
We'll be placin' memories in frames
Invitin' people 'round to stay
And always owning up to things, to things
'Cause after all, I guess it all depends upon
The people you choose and where you're from
If so, I've been so lucky, so far, it's outrageous
I won't complain (No)

[Pre-Chorus]
Give myself a little credit
Since I dealt with all the pain
Yeah, I turned superhero
I'm comin' in Bruce Wayne

[Chorus]
Yeah, I did it again, I just did it again, yeah
This time I took control
Turned my shit 'round
Sometimes you gotta cut a bitch out
I'm livin' again, yes, I'm livin', I'm livin' again
Ah-ah

[Bridge]
New York

[Outro]
Now, I'm safe and sound where I belong
It took all my strength to carry on
And though it's still hard work to find the words, what?
(I'm still gonna write this fuckin' song)
'Cause after all, I guess it all depends upon
The people you choose and where you're from
Oh
