  • There's this boy I know who's afraid of the ocean
    Never quite found love he drank the love potion
    I'll be on the chain smoking in the basement
    Shattered like the windows

    All my life I was born to lead
    Worry not just leave me be
    I'll abide till the end
    I'll take it on the chin for you my friend

    Find my bag of bones at the back of the station
    Said make yourself at home
    So I started day drinking
    'Til I believe in time after seven, eight or nine
    You fall yourself to pieces

    All my life I was born to lead
    Worry not just leave me be
    I'll abide till the end
    I'll take it on the chin for you my friend

    All my life I was born to lead
    Worry not just leave me be I'll abide till the end
    I'll take it on the chin for you my friend

    I'll take it on the chin for you my friend
    I'll take it on the chin for you my friend Writer/s: CALEB FOLLOWILL, JARED FOLLOWILL, MATTHEW FOLLOWILL, NATHAN FOLLOWILL
