[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] I waved my flag at the distant ship Thought it was the right thing to do I just wanted to avoid collision And gave a signal for their sake too [Instrumental Break] [Pre-Chorus 1] Only when it came close did I see Oh, it was way bigger than I thought I didn’t need to wave a flag at all Just stepping aside would've been enough [fill-in : drum fill] [Chorus 1] So this is how it ends, huh Just a glorious swing and a miss Cutting through air without a touch And a weird silence left behind [post-chorus 1] After that, just act like it’s nothing Pretend you don’t care —it’ll pass [fill-in : drum fill] [Verse 2] A dog keeps barking at a passing train Burning with its sense of justice Like it’s facing a mighty unknown foe As if it’s claiming to guard the world [ instrumental short break] [Pre-Chorus 2] Truth is, it’s just scared to death Oh, the noise and shaking were too much Instead of barking and losing it It could’ve just waited for it to pass [fill-in : drum fill] [Chorus 2] So I thought I was helping, right? Turned out it was just a big swing again All I left behind was empty noise And headwinds blowing on my back [post-chorus 2] After that, just act like it’s nothing Pretend you don’t care—it’ll pass [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Just a miscalculation, that’s all Too short sleeves, too long hems I got my own size completely wrong And acted like it was the end of the world [fill-in : drum fill : guitar solo] [Chorus 3] So maybe it was a big swing But I thought it might land, back then Cutting through air without a touch And a weird silence left behind [post-chorus 3] If things get too awkward to stand Might as well wave a white flag early [Instrumental Break] [Outro] That was just a big swing, that’s all Well, when I think about it now Of course it was never gonna land Luckily, no one was really watching But the wind did blow—that part's true [Instrumental outro] [End]
