(Straight edge
Quit while I'm ahead)

I'm at a crossroads in my life
As I look back with full hindsight
Thinking about all the misdeeds that I have done
In just a few days I'll be only twenty-one
Precious son, not quite sheltered but never exposed
To the world outside my closed-off room
But that's what I chose to do

This is all so new to me
The kind of fucked-up funny chemically-induced feeling
That lots of people in my life take part in
And I'm presented with a choice
That I never thought I'd have to make
Do I need more than music to get high?

Should I go straight edge?
Should I quit while I'm ahead?
It's a concept that I've flirted with more than I've ever flirted with a one-night
Stand-off inside my muddled head
Cause I know I like my drink too much
To give it up as I keep losing friends and touch

I had some time to kill so I took that time to learn about
These substances that ruin lives as close to firsthand as I could
And I concluded that there might be merit to the need to be intoxicated
I never saw that coming
Cause I spent a lot of time declaring my uncomfortableness
At the thought of someone that I care about lighting up a joint
And the hypocrite in me still thinks that's wrong
While I am passed out on the floor with an empty bottle in my hand

Empty bottle in my hand
I can't believe what's happening to me

I thought I'd be a lot more upset
About this very sudden change to my mindset
After breaking all my rules, not breaking a sweat
No longer see losing control as a real threat

Should I go straight edge
Should I quit while I'm ahead?
It's a concept that I've flirted with more than I've ever flirted with a one-night
Stand-off inside my muddled head
Cause I know I like my drink too much
To give it up as I keep losing friends and touch

I don't wanna go that far
But I'm starting to think there's no middle ground
Is there even such a thing as moderation?
And do I really wanna know?

Should I go straight edge?
Should I quit while I'm ahead?
It's a concept that I've flirted with more than I've ever flirted with a one-night
Stand-off inside my muddled head
Cause I know I like my drink too much
To give it up as I keep losing friends and touch

(Straight Edge)
I keep losing friends and touch
(Quit while I'm ahead)
I keep losing friends and touch
(Straight Edge)
I keep on losing friends and touch
(Quit while I'm ahead)
I keep losing friends and touch...
