Lirik lagu "Down Bad" sebagai berikut;
Did you really beam me up?
In a cloud of sparkling dust
Just to do experiments on
Tell me I was the chosen one
Showed me that this world is bigger than us
Then sent me back where I came from
For a moment I knew cosmic love
Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym
Everything comes out teenage petulance
"Fuck it if I can't have him"
"I might just die, it would make no difference"
Down bad, waking up in blood
Staring at the sky, come back and pick me up
Fuck it if I can't have us
I might just not get up
I might stay down bad
Fuck it if I can't have him
Down bad
Fuck it if I can't have him
Did you take all my old clothes?
In a field in my same old town
That somehow seems so hollow now
They'll say I'm nuts if I talk about
The existence of you
For a moment, I was heavenstruck
Everything comes out teenage petulance
"Fuck it if I can't have him"
"I might just die, it would make no difference"
Down bad, waking up in blood
Staring at the sky, come back and pick me up
Fuck it if I can't have us
I might just not get up
I might stay down bad (Like I lost my twin)
Fuck it if I can't have him (Down bad)
Down bad (Waving at the ship)
Fuck it if I can't have him
I loved your hostile take-overs
All your indecent exposures
How dare you say that it's–
I'll build you a fort on some planet
Where they can all understand it
How dare you think it's romantic
Leaving me safe and stranded?
Cause fuck it, I was in love
So fuck you if I can't have us
Cause fuck it, I was in love
Now I'm down bad, crying at the gym
"Fuck it if I can't have him"
"I might just die, it would make no difference"
Down bad, waking up in blood
Staring at the sky, come back and pick me up
Fuck it if I can't have us
I might just not get up
I might stay down bad (Like I lost my twin)
Fuck it if I can't have him (Down bad)
Down bad (Waving at the ship)
Fuck it if I can't have him
Like I lost my twin
Down bad (Waving at the ship)
Fuck it if I can't have him
