Lyrics
Nobody knows me
Nobody understands my true self
Some days I think so
On certain days, I believe that to be true
Usually I'm dead wrong
Typically, my beliefs are incorrect
Play dead to move the day along
Pretend to be inactive to pass the time
I will quit while I'm ahead
Decide to stop while I'm in a favorable position
If I ever get there
If I ever reach a successful point
I will quit while I'm ahead
Decide to stop while I'm in a favorable position
Existential crises
Dealing with deep questions about existence
Bring me back but turn me into
Revive me, but transform me into
An uninvited guest making big claims
An unwelcome visitor making bold assertions
About size and importance
About size and significance
I will quit while I'm ahead
Decide to stop while I'm in a favorable position
If I ever get there
If I ever reach a successful point
I will quit while I'm ahead
Decide to stop while I'm in a favorable position
If I ever make it
If I ever achieve success
Wake up when it's passed
Awaken after the moment has passed
Watch a leaf fall to the ground
Observe a leaf descending to the ground
Find tears in both my eyes
Discover tears in my eyes
Small things don't make a sound
Small things go unnoticed
I will quit while I'm ahead
Decide to stop while I'm in a favorable position
If I ever get there
If I ever reach a successful point
I will quit while I'm ahead
Decide to stop while I'm in a favorable position
If I ever make it
If I ever achieve success
I will quit while I'm ahead
Decide to stop while I'm in a favorable position
If I ever get there
If I ever reach a successful point
I will quit while I'm ahead
Decide to stop while I'm in a favorable position
Maybe when I'm dead
Possibly, only in death will I stop
