One-Hit Wonder Lyrics

Playing to an empty room

Fuck, I can't deal with that

I'd rather teach math

If I could fill the Red Rocks Amphitheatre

My spine would snap

I'd probably collapse and break my back

I don't wanna hear my song on the air

Radio

Number one smash

I'd rather be relaxed

Blaring through gyms, restrooms, department stores, TV ads

I'd have to hide or run right off the map

And now you sing along with a catchy chorus

The one that I'll be singing for the rest of my days

I'll try to write a song with a happy message

That goes "buh-bah bah bah bah bah buh bah-duh-buh"

To be unknown in obscurity is better than to rise then crash

I'd rather face the facts

It won't be so bad

But you know that now it's calling me

I fear my life has gone to waste

Wanted it deep within my heart

The feeling of being number one

You know that now it follows me

One day these things will all erase

I knew a wish would fall apart

Left me alone here in the dark

And now you sing along with a catchy chorus

The one that I'll be singing for the rest of my days

I'll try to write a song with a happy message

That goes "buh-bah bah bah bah bah buh bah-duh-buh"

And you know that something's haunting me

Now that my life has gone to waste

Dreamt of it since we were young

Having a song that's number one

You know that something's taunting me

I feel that I'm no longer safe

But when I lie with empty lungs

What will they say that I had done?

So now you sing along with a catchy chorus

The one that I'll be singing till the day that I die

I tried to write a song with a happy ending

It went "buh-bah bah bah bah bah buh bah-duh-buh"
