Baby, You Wouldn’t Last a Minute on the Creek Lyrics

[Intro]
Let's just stop
Drop everything
(Forget each other's names) Forget each other's names
And just walk away


[Verse 1]
Turn around and head in different directions
Like we never, it's like we never knew each other at all
We say what we feel, then we stop ourselves
And just walk away
Never looking back
Loving every second of it
We just walk away

[Chorus]
This is probably the best
Not to mention the worst idea
That I have ever had

[Verse 2]
Ignoring what we've felt
Overlooking what we've done
No awkward silences, no hiding any truths
Ignoring what we've felt
Overlooking what we've done
What do you say?
[Chorus]
This is probably the best
Not to mention the worst idea
That I have ever had

[Verse 3]
We say what we feel
Then we stop ourselves
And just walk away
Never looking back
Loving every second of it
We just walk away

[Bridge]
Let's just stop
Drop everything
Forget each other's names
Can we please just walk away?
It could be...It could be...
Like we never knew each other at all

Walk away!
All egos aside, what do you say?
All egos aside, what do you say?

[Verse 4]
Ignoring what we've felt
Overlooking what we've done
No awkward silences, no hiding any truths
Ignoring what we've felt
Overlooking what we've done
What do you say?

[Outro]
We say what we feel
Then we stop ourselves
And just walk away
Never looking back
Loving every second of it
We just walk away
We just walk away

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 [?]

Genius Annotation

In a Podcast interview with AP Magazine, Craig Owens (Chiodos singer) revealed that the song “Baby, You Wouldn’t Last a Minute on the Creek” is lyrically about Craig wanting to quit the band, not about the end of a relationship like majority assumed.

The end of the song is actually the first track, titled Prelude, in reverse.

An acoustic version of this song is featured on the 2006 re-release of the album. A live version is on the re-release DVD.
