"Paid For That" lyrics - PAUL BANKS

Gun fire explosion, I want that guarantee
Sometimes I think I coexist with me
And one side makes me old
And one side makes me struggle
I was on the night shift, I said I'll never run a fight like this

[Pre-Chorus:]
In the meantime, I'm gonna shut it tight like a briefcase
In the room mine, it's summertime, can't catch a break

Changed by folk implosion when I was 17
Sometimes I feel diminished by beauty
It's one night she is cold, next she's making me doubles
I'm drinking moonshine, because I've had enough of starlight

[Pre-Chorus:]
In the meantime, I'm gonna shut it tight like a briefcase
In my room mine, I'll catch a ride, let it break

[Chorus:]
So just sit back, (I don't mind)
See how long that this takes
Don't you see I had to pay for that?
I paid for that, I paid for that
And now you'll pay me back

[Bridge:]
Death will come by ocean, I want that guarantee
Sometimes I think I'm offering a dream

[Pre-Chorus:]
In the meantime, I'm gonna shut it tight like my briefcase
'Cause in my room mine it's a summer night and I watch it break

[Chorus:]
So just sit back, (I don't mind)
See how long that this takes
Don't you see I had to pay for that?
I paid for that, I paid for that
And now you'll pay me back
I paid for that, in very many steps
I paid for that, now you'll pay me back

[Outro:]
Now you'll pay me back, now you'll pay me back
Now you'll pay me back, now you'll pay me back
