The Downfall of Us All Lyrics
[Intro]
Dada dada dada, dada, da da da dada, dada
Dadada dadada dada, dada, dada, dada
Let's go!
[Verse 1]
It's not easy making a name for yourself
Where do you draw the line?
I never thought I'd be in this far
Let's have some fun and never change up for anyone
Try not to miss me when I'm gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
I sold my soul to the open road
I'll live my life alone!
[Chorus]
You won't find me in the same spot, believe me
I could never stop, my life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks, I'm leaving
And not coming back, you're right, and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna need you to try to follow along
I did the best that I could to try to write you songs
Now go tell them we sold out, like we're the ones who changed
I write what I feel, I say what I mean, you can't buy sincerity
Dada dada dada, dada, da da da dada, dada
Dadada dadada dada, dada, dada, dada
Let's go!
[Verse 1]
It's not easy making a name for yourself
Where do you draw the line?
I never thought I'd be in this far
Let's have some fun and never change up for anyone
Try not to miss me when I'm gone
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
I sold my soul to the open road
I'll live my life alone!
[Chorus]
You won't find me in the same spot, believe me
I could never stop, my life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks, I'm leaving
And not coming back, you're right, and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna need you to try to follow along
I did the best that I could to try to write you songs
Now go tell them we sold out, like we're the ones who changed
I write what I feel, I say what I mean, you can't buy sincerity
[Pre-Chorus]
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
I sold my soul to the open road
I'll live my life alone!
[Chorus]
You won't find me in the same spot, believe me
I could never stop, my life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks, I'm leaving
And not coming back, you're right, and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all
[Bridge]
Don't forget yourselves, we made up our minds
Yeah, we signed three, four, five on that dotted line
Don't forget yourselves, we made up our minds
Yeah, we signed three, four, five on that dotted line
[Chorus]
You won't find me in the same spot, believe me
I could never stop, my life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks, I'm leaving
And not coming back, you're right, and I was wrong
You won't find me in the same spot, believe me
I could never stop, my life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks, I'm leaving
And not coming back, you're right, and I was wrong
Woah-oh-oh, woah-oh-oh
I sold my soul to the open road
I'll live my life alone!
[Chorus]
You won't find me in the same spot, believe me
I could never stop, my life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks, I'm leaving
And not coming back, you're right, and I was wrong
This town will be the downfall of us all
[Bridge]
Don't forget yourselves, we made up our minds
Yeah, we signed three, four, five on that dotted line
Don't forget yourselves, we made up our minds
Yeah, we signed three, four, five on that dotted line
[Chorus]
You won't find me in the same spot, believe me
I could never stop, my life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks, I'm leaving
And not coming back, you're right, and I was wrong
You won't find me in the same spot, believe me
I could never stop, my life's turned upside down
Meet me out past the train tracks, I'm leaving
And not coming back, you're right, and I was wrong

Genius Answer
Jeremy said via Alternative Press:
This song was written at a time when I was feeling the pressures that come along with writing a record. I was worried about pleasing every person, and I just decided, ‘Why not write a song about what I’m feeling?’ No matter what you do, you can’t please everyone. This song is about being yourself, and just doing what you feel is right.
