Would You Rather

by Phoebe Bridgers

on Stranger in the Alps (2017)

[Verse 1]
Playing would you rather
When it comes to fire
You always say that you'd prefer to drown

[Verse 2]
You were still in the ambulance
When the cop suggested
You're the one who tried to burn it down

[Chorus]
Come to find out
I'm a can on a string, you're on the end
We find our way out
Of a suicide pact of our family and friends
In the background I'll be waiting

[Verse 3]
We have the same face
I laid awake
As someone shoved you up against a wall

[Verse 4]
Quarantined in a bad dream
He's half the man
And you're twice as tall

[Chorus]
Come to find out
I'm a can on a string, you're on the end
We find our way out
Of a suicide pact of our family and friends
In the background I'll be waiting

[Bridge]
Next time I see you you'll show me
A hundred different ways to say the same things

[Chorus]
Come to find out
I'm a can on a string, you're on the end
We find our way out
Of a suicide pact of our family and friends
And when you touch down I'll be waving
