Lyrics

Bad Experience by Alison Whiteacre
 
Sit awhile and reminisce about the way we took our fill of bliss
We made a big and mighty sound, as we were raging through the underground
You were on, I mean, really on and you, ya had me in your lovely palm
And I was only tryin’ to keep it up for you, ‘til you were gone, I mean, really gone
 
So, you had a bad experience, now everybody pays
I guess you were a bit too curious
But now that you regret it, you won't let 'em all forget it
Cuz, you know
 
You were afraid of growin' old, slowin' down, gettin' fat, and gettin' cold
But you are young, and you are thin, now you're the tragic, angry heroine
Me, I gotta say, I took you to the edge, I held your hand, standin' on that ledge
But you were out of control, and out of sight, and you were so sure it would be all right
You said, "Everything's gonna be fine"
 
But you had a bad experience, now everybody pays
I guess you were a bit too curious
And now that you regret it, you won't let 'em all forget it
Cuz, you know
 
It's a crime, to deny it now
Cuz, you know the kicks were cool and all the fireworks were real
But in time, since you and I were bound to fall
You said, "Nothing lasts for long and you ain't no exception to the rule"
 
And now that you regret it, you won't let 'em all forget it
Cuz, you… 
 
You say you had a bad experience, now everybody pays
I guess you were a bit too curious
And now that you regret it, you won't let 'em all forget it
Cuz, you…
 
You say you had a bad experience, now everybody pays
Say it made you feel invincible
But now that you regret it, you ain't ever gonna let it go
