Failure by Design Songtext
von Brand New

Watch you on the ones and twos
Through a window in a well-lit room
Become a recluse and I blame myself ′cause I
Make things hard and you're just trying to help

And when I wake up, you′re the first to call
This is one more late night basement song
And I'm so sore, my voice has gone to hell
This is one more sleepless night because

We don't believe in filler, baby
If I could I′d sit this out

(This is over) this is a lesson in procrastination
(When I say it′s over) I kill myself because I'm so frustrated
And every single second that I put it off
Means another lonely night I got to race the clock

(I ignore it) what say we go and crash your car?
(It ignores me too) and every time I leave, you go and lock the door
And I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder
I′m another day late and one year older, it's failure by design


And we just want sleep, but this night is hell
I′m sick and sunk, and I blame myself
'Cause I make things hard and you were trying to help

I got no gas (no gas), I′m winding out my gears
This is one more day on the verge of tears
And now my head hurts (head hurts) and my health is a joke
And now I gotta stop 'cause the headphones broke

We don't believe in filler, baby
If I could I′d sit this out

(This is over) this is a lesson in procrastination
(When I say it′s over) I kill myself because I'm so frustrated
And every single second that I put it off
Means another lonely night I gotta race the clock

(I ignore it) what say we go and crash your car?
(It ignores me too) and every time I leave, you go and lock the door
And I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder
I′m another day late and one year older, it's failure by design

I′m out of everything
No one sleeps 'til we get this shit out on the shelves
It′s late, I'm faltering
But this time, I got nothing to say besides


Do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do (baby, I'm better than this)
Do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do (baby, I′m better than this)
Do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do (baby, I′m better than this, yeah)
Do do do, do do do, do do do, do do do (nothing says besides)

(This is over) this is a lesson in procrastination
(When I say it's over) I kill myself because I′m so frustrated
And every single second that I put it off
Means another lonely night I got to race the clock

(I ignore it) what say we go and crash your car?
(It ignores me too) and every time I leave, you go and lock the door
And I walk myself picking at a chip on my shoulder
I'm another day late and one year older, I′m a failure by design
