I had the whole world in my hands but I gave it away      I'm a half-wit boy   Cracking a smile and wearing it all on m ysleeve   So cool, so poised   It's true I'm just around to see   Where this thing goes, I'll never know   But all I know is packing bags is a remedy      [chorus]   This time I'll be nervous   'Cause I can't see your hands in front of me tonight   Let's forget all pretense of what they thought we should be   What liars we can be      I'm on my way to the top of the world   And I've got a feeling I'll give it away      She's a maverick, she's so smooth   If things go according to plan   I'll have her finished by five a.m.   There's no changing plans   There's no second chance   I've already got both feet through the door   And I can taste the air      [repeat chorus]      Make a sound, it's safe for you   To choke in here alone      Whatever I say goes   You're not here with me
