Always Almost Ready - 2021 Tiny Desk Contest Version

I want to rock but I can't find a drummer
Who won't run off with every girl I love
And the memory of one good summer
Is not enough, oh no - it was never enough

I want to love but I can't find a lover
I want to drive but I can't find the keys
I want to sing but I can't remember
The words to 'The Best Of Me'

I'm not broke but I might be broken
Or at least in disrepair
Look around, and I'm always hoping
That I will see you there

But there's always something in my way
I'm always almost ready

I want to rock but I can't find a drummer
Who won't run off with every girl I love
And the memory of one good summer
Is not enough, oh no - it was never enough

I wonder if I'm good enough for you
I wonder if you're good enough for me
I forget if we're good together
Or if we used to be

I want to live but I can't be bothered
I think of you and it makes me want to die
Look around, and the doors are open
You're always asking why

But there's always something in your way
You're always almost ready

I want to rock but I can't find a drummer
Who won't run off with every girl I love
And the memory of one good summer
Is not enough, oh no - it was never enough

I know I said I would call
But I'm pretty sure one of us might be sleeping
That clock on the wall
Traded pleasant tick-tocks for incessant beeping
Never stopped to ask whether time's worth keeping

I WANNA ROCK!
But I can't find a drummer
Who won't run off with every girl I love
And the memory of one good summer
Is not enough, oh no - it was never enough
Oh, it was never enough
