[Verse 1]
Mom, I know I let you down
And though you say these days are happy, why's the power off and I'm fucked up?
And Mom, I know made dad proud
Never say your son's a preacher when the boy can't fill a steeple, oh, I said

[Chorus]
I started jumping the shark
I started jumping the shark
I started jumping the shark
I want a new life

[Instrumental Interlude]

[Chorus]
I started jumping the shark
I started jumping the shark
I started jumping the shark
I want a new life

[Verse 2]
One as an adult
So, I'm coming home tonight, no matter what the cost
And if the plane goes down or if the crew can't wake me up
Just know that I'm alright, oh, I was not afraid to die
And even if there's songs to sing or grandchildren you'll never meet
It might not be that time, no, I was not afraid to die
'Cause I put more faith in TV shows than I ever have some holy ghost
You know you've played a part but after everything went dark
I started, I started...
[Chorus]
I started jumping the shark
I started jumping the shark
I started jumping the shark
I want a new life
