Paint the town take a bow
Thank every body you're gonna do it again
You are the few the proud
You are the antibody mind soul and Zen
And the world's a stage
And the world's a faze and the end is near
So push rewind just in time
Thank anybody you're gonna do it again
[Chorus]
The way that you walk
It's just the way that you talk like it ain't no thing
And every single day is just a fling
Then the morning comes
Take your knocks shake them off
Duck everybody you're gonna take them again
You are your foe, your friend
You are the paparazzi
You are the tragedian
And the world's a craze
And the world's a faze and the end is near
So push rewind just in time
Thank anybody you're gonna do it again
[Chorus]
And when it comes it moves so slow
Kind of like it's saying "I told you so"
Looking back before she goes
Tomorrow's gonna hurt
And the world's a stage
And the world's a faze and the end is near
So push rewind just in time
Thank anybody
[Chorus]
Thank every body you're gonna do it again
You are the few the proud
You are the antibody mind soul and Zen
And the world's a stage
And the world's a faze and the end is near
So push rewind just in time
Thank anybody you're gonna do it again
[Chorus]
The way that you walk
It's just the way that you talk like it ain't no thing
And every single day is just a fling
Then the morning comes
Take your knocks shake them off
Duck everybody you're gonna take them again
You are your foe, your friend
You are the paparazzi
You are the tragedian
And the world's a craze
And the world's a faze and the end is near
So push rewind just in time
Thank anybody you're gonna do it again
[Chorus]
And when it comes it moves so slow
Kind of like it's saying "I told you so"
Looking back before she goes
Tomorrow's gonna hurt
And the world's a stage
And the world's a faze and the end is near
So push rewind just in time
Thank anybody
[Chorus]

"And when it comes it moves so slow
Kinda like it's saying I told you so
Looking back before she goes
Tomorrow's gonna hurt"
He eventually realizes, Oh, shit, this is the worst possible thing I could do, but he always sees it when it's either too late or about to be in the next five seconds. All these girls look back before they leave him, thinking everything is alright, but he's so incredibly riddled with problems.
And he's always so depressed; indeed the actor in a tragedy. Shaking off your problems until the last minute? Yep... that's him. Probably another reason why I love this song so much..
"And when it comes it moves so slow
Kinda like it's saying I told you so
Looking back before she goes
Tomorrow's gonna hurt"
seemingly, the song tells the tale of a nice guy who's trying to pass off his string of failures, especially with the girl ("looking back before she goes") in his life.
everybody, to a certain extent, tries to take their knocks and shake them off. unless you're one of those people that drowns in self-pity and milks every semi-tragedy for all its worth, then you're gonna end doing your best to stay calm and collected about things. but underneath you're the tragedian, the actor in a tragic situation.
best part of the song, musically and lyrically-"when it comes it moves so slow...tomorrow's gonna hurt". for all of us who have been there, you know that tomorrow isn't gonna be pleasant. and voila, then the morning comes and you have to deal with it.
