Don't Try

I don't know what happens next
I stayed behind to get ahead
And all of the people in my bed say no you can't do that
You've been circling around my head
In constant orbit since we met
I cut my thoughts up in to strips and drew one from a hat
It said just don't try 'cause if the money's right
You can talk talk talk until your mouth gets dry
And your words taste stale and you shut up for a while
And they'll just think you're shy
But you just don't wanna talk

I don't know where the past year went
I traded chaos for good intent
And all of the people say where have you been
Well I wish I knew that
I woke up hungry like babies do
So many places in such a small room
So many faces and none of them you
All talking and passing their hats

So just don't try 'cause if the money's right
You can talk talk talk until your mouth gets dry
And the words taste stale and you shut up for a while
And they'll just think you're shy
Just don't try 'cause life's a firefly
It gets super dark sometimes and then there's a flash of light
But life's not a firefly it's more like a forest fire
No more like a moment in time
And you're here with me and it is alright

I don't know what happens next
I stayed behind to get ahead
And all of the people in my bed say no you can't do that
