Description[]

The band said this about the song:

"As a band, and as guys in their twenties, most of our experiences end in rejection, failure, and bad days. We wanted to write a realistic look at that… what doesn’t kill you doesn’t always make you stronger. But what doesn’t kill you always makes you more interesting."

Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
Remember when we all got drunk?
I ended up with two broke thumbs
Oh my God, I felt so dumb
Lucky me
I wrote a song that no one knows
I played a show and no one showed
Oh my God, I felt so alone
Lucky me

[Pre-Chorus]
When all is going wrong
And you’re scared as hell
Whatcha gonna do
Who you gonna tell?

Maybe a
Hundred bad days
Made a hundred good stories
A hundred good stories
Make me interesting at parties

[Chorus]
A hundred bad days
Made a hundred good stories
A hundred good stories
Make me interesting at parties
Yeah
No, I ain’t scared of you
No, I ain’t scared of you no more
(Da, da da da da da da da da da da)
(Da, da da da da da da da da da da)
No, I ain’t scared of you
No, I ain’t scared of you no more

[Verse 2]
Remember when she broke my heart
Waiting for the waiter to return my card
Right as I let down my guard
Lucky me
We had to work a bit more hard
Only just to get a little bit less far

We could laugh about it all tomorrow
Couldn’t we?

[Pre-Chorus]
When all is going wrong
And you’re scared as hell
Whatcha gonna do
Who you gonna tell?

Maybe a
Hundred bad days
Made a hundred good stories
A hundred good stories
Make me interesting at parties

[Chorus]
A hundred bad days
Made a hundred good stories
A hundred good stories
Make me interesting at parties
Yeah
No, I ain’t scared of you
No, I ain’t scared of you no more
