Dead American Writers Lyrics

Here's to every time that you rocked the boat
Here's to every word that you ever wrote
There were clues but it was never clear
You got to choose your own way out of here

If I could say anything, Be anyone
Do anything, see anything
Say anything, be anyone
Do anything, yeah
It would be this, it would be this

I've been waiting for the spark myself
But I've been scrambling in the dark for health
I have read your words a thousand times
All inspired by smashed up love and crime

If I could say anything, Be anyone
See anything, do anything
Say anything, be anyone
Do anything, yeah
It would be this, it would be this

I've been choking on the bones and tears
You are the smoking gun, the throne, the years
A broken heart won't get you far enough
All beat up wading through the tar and rough
If I could say anything, Be anyone
See anything, do anything
Say anything, be anyone
Do anything, yeah
It would be this, it would be this

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
